These guys will sell you one:

http://www.winfordeng.com/products/con15.php

Now perhaps they (and everyone else) is wrong in calling it that, but
everyone just about call them DB25, DB15 and DB9, and just like the
english language, eventually common usage overrules original
specifications.

How about the DB23?  I think it was physically slightly shorter than the
DB25, so I guess it doesn't even fit any of the standard shell sizes.
