The only superb quality Delisle repros are made by a company called Shandwick Supply in Scotland. I saw a well used demo example and with the wear and tear, you'd swear it was original. The ones made by Valkyrie Arms here in the USAicon were absolute crap. I have a friend in Virginia who has one and had to pay a small fortune to get the problems all worked out of it. Apparently, attention to detail wasn't on the agenda when it was built.
