    For Sale: 1933 Diana Model 26:

    For Sale, a pre war, 1933, Diana Model 26 air rifle. There is a picture of this rifle in the "Old Original Catalogue" thread which was put up yesterday. These Model 26's are basically a smaller version of the pre war Diana 45, which is essentially a Webley Mk.3, being the rifle that Webley copied to create the Mk.3.
    This Diana 26 has been professionally refinished, and the stock rubbed down ready to accept a new coat of varnish. Some of the rear cylinder markings are a bit 'thin', but mechanically it seems fine, and having been reblued looks well. This is a rare air rifle, and will be of interest to anyone who collects Mk.3's due to the history surrounding it. Price £135 + post.


    RIFLE SOLD IN 2008

    Cool Diana

    Hi slug gun, can you put some photos on as I might be interested to go with my other pre war Diana.

    I think I bought this one more than a decade ago and have long since sold it on, having got a far better example, which is not for sale.

    I'll put my paisley tie and burgundy stay press trousers on in honour of the occasion.
