german hy-score

[jonballs]

i`m trying to find out a bit of info on yet another pistol i`ve got


it`s a German made ( for hy-score arms corp` ) model 827T

it looks very like a Diana/original model 6/10 and uses the double piston griss system
it was made in June 1979 according to the date stamp

any info would be helpful and also availability of spares etc ( will the original mod 6/10 bits fit?)
cheers

hi john a pick would be a big help. Hy score were a distributor in the states and many european firms including Diana/ Original , Hammerli etc made guns for them. From memorey there is a good section in Beemans blue book on the various models and who made them. Post a pick and i will see if i or someone else can identify for yourself.. atb

photos now added but poor quality as they are with my mobile
had a look in the blue book but couldn`t see any reference for the mod 827t
no doubt someone will correct me
cheers

looks like it was made by diana/original from your list

now to pull it apart and reseal it as it sounds a bit strange (havent fully cocked it or fired it)

better safe than sorry

The Hy-Score 827T is actually the Diana 6M - a more upmarket version of the wod-grip Diana 6G with the barrel and front sight format of the Diana 10 Full details of the pistol and the Hy-Score naming can be found in the Encycloperdia of Spring Air Pistols.
