A bit of bargaining on the domestic front got me a trip to the Imperial War MUseum London recently. Well worth the 4 x tickets to Phantom of the Opera and meal.

Unfortunately five hours was nowhere near long enough but did allow me to actually see a De Lisle Carbine.

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

I believe that they do still have one in stock Adam , However they are now making them to individual order i.e if you want one they will make you one but I dont know what the costs are yet . I will let you no when I find out .
