I've seen a thread on them at permies.com, so I know there are some people
growing them who perhaps might have seed available, and possibly experience
growing them in different regions.

Also of note, a thread (in French) with several photos of the fruit on the
tree: http://www.greffer.net/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=2302
Historical note from 1978 with some details about the plant:
http://www.il.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_PLANTMATERIALS/publications/nmpmcrbelanking.pdf
[later removed from list of recommended conservation plants due to concerns
about potential invasiveness in the west]
Also good listing in Plants for a Future database:
http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Elaeagnus+orientalis (they've
rated edibility at 4 "stars")
Dave's Garden does not list any sources for seed or plants.
