FYI. Doff guitars just released their bowlback mandolin in Russia and offer it for US$300.00 inclusive of delivery anywhere in the world (NFI). They have a workshop in St. Petersburg and do make decent Russian 7 string, classical and acoustics guitars.
According to Alan, the company owner I have communicated with, they used a German bowlback as a prototype.
