Oh yes!

My latest acquisition! Bought from a dealer Daan Saaf again, though not without a struggle getting her back to York.

43.25in, watered, silver-inlaid barrel of approx. .60 bore. EIC lock, converted locally for percussion ignition. Stock seems to be in good fettle, no major cracks or failures; the area around the nipple and barrel tang's a bit worn, as you'd expect (huzzah for corrosive primers), the ramrod's not original (or if it is, it's been cut down or broken at some point), and the tang screw seems to have stripped its threads. Nonetheless, for her age (at least 100) she's doing well, I think.
