Actually, there are.
I met a collector earlier this year that specializes in one area and period of handguns. He has what i would consider to be a "World Reference Collection" beyond anything in publicly accessible museums.
Where a museum might have one very rare example, he has one of every known major variation.
His collection is also not that of a dealer, and it's not for sale.
