if i had a meter i knew was in calibration i could use any cap about the right value . its not super important to do but its good to have them useable .

just bought a brand new old stock multimeter exact same model so will use that to calibrate my other 2 so then at least all 3 will agree with each other . PRECISION GOLD WG020 . been waiting years for another to turn up and paid less than a 1/3 of the price an equivalent one these days . its less than they were new .

yes it is ..i found after lots of looking the same one under a different name . https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalmultimeter top one .
then found CHY-20 FIREMATE calibration manual ..not exact same meter but close enough .

There is such a thing like a DMMcheck plus.
