Some years ago I suggested (to be honest I don't think it was my idea originally) that the so called Deskford Carnix might actually be the remains of a draco standard.

It looks as though there may be something new to add to the suggestion.
In one of the images linked from another recent thread, there appears to be a contemporary image of a draco whose head looks more than a little like the surviving portion of the Deskford 'carnix'.

Looking at the image, it looks as if there is a curving section which curls back under it, which I wonder might be useful in producing the noise that so many expect a draco to produce but no-one seems to be able to get.
For reference, here is the Deskford 'Carnix' for comparison.
