Its cheap because it is very common in the US.
Large numbers imported in the 1950s for the best selling 35mm rangefinder ever, the mighty Argus C3.

Its a simple triplet of good performance. Not a wonder lens.
I shot a bit with it on film.

No, it is Argus C3 mount. M34 I believe, and the pitch is finer, closer to .75 instead of 1mm
Argus C3 register is also a little thicker than Leica M39.

I have not tried adapting to digital.

This guy has, in several ways - https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3979498

Other people here on mflenses have also tried -
