ID a Pistol

[Mattockswinga]

Hi,

I'm tyring to find out a make of a pistol I had when I was younger. Unfortunately I dont have any pics and will have to describe it.

Italian I think, .177, very short barrel, wooden grip extending to beneath the barrel, sort of like underlever cocking in a rifle except this was overlever cocking in a pistol

Probably a very poor description

Have never seen one since but would like to, sentimentality and all that...

Any ideas?

a photo would help

Sounds like an old Diana I had as a yoof, .!77 overlever, barrel broke up to accept pellet then was held down by the overlever. Looked & felt like a cut down rifle and was all I could afford. Took out a lot of rats on the canal bank with it. Sorry no Piccie. Choice between gun or camera. Was a no brainer!

you've possibly hit the nail on the head with that targetbunny, your description (much better than my own) seems right, it was like a cut down rifle... Have to find a pic now... may be some time and it might involve going in the attic...


Hmmm, no pics. Looks like it may be a diana mk4 with the front sight shroud removed though.

Did it look like this? Milbro/ Diana Mk4. Cheaper copy of the Zenit

Sorry do not understand the question

Mind you that picture is the right pistol.

Yeah sort of like that but I think someone must have taken the front sight shroud off of mine,

Cheers boys!
