Listed in the 4th edition of Walter's Airgun Book (1987) as a variant of the model 24 (which was originally introduced in 1984) with a better trigger mechanism - the ball sear - and a proper sight rail (instead of just scope grooves cut into the top of the air cylinder).

The purpose of this may have been, I think, to make the gun into a bit more of a junior target rifle rather than just a plinker - the same treatment had been applied to some of their older models (25, 27) to produce 'D' versions, in which the 'D' is said to stand for 'dioptervisier' - aperture sight. (Correction - there was only a 25 and 25D, the basic 27 already had these features.)

Walter gives a muzzle energy in .177" of just over 5 ft.lbs.

Can't really help you any more on the age, or value, I'm afraid.
