Modern Hammer SXS Doubles

What companies/smiths are currently building SXS hammer doubles? I have a very nice Ferlib round body double in 9.3X74R and have an Adamy-built sidelock hammer in a 416 Rigby in transit and scheduled for delivery by the weekend. I was wondering if any of you have current production or post WWII hammer doubles or know who is building them -- as opposed to simply listing them at their website as 'available' but something not seen outside of a few books.

So, who else has one? Failing that, who has seen one out 'in public' (not in a nice book showing one built by Peter Hofer, etc.) They are an elegant and enjoyable gun, but am I simply in the minority? (I know I am in the minority when it comes to Rotary Round Action doubles, as only Hoening makes those and the wait is a long or longer than most British bespoke makers, but that's for another day.)
