    Milbro Diana Series 70 Model 79 - 1976

    Hello,

    I have recently acquired one of the above rifles. In the stock is a shallow circular recess. The bottom of the recess appears to have glue remnants still present. Within the glue? is the word DIANA.

    The recess, which is also shown on the model on the Chambers website, appears to have held a badge? Is this right or was it just the word DIANA covered in an epoxy resin?

    If it was a badge, does anyone have one they could part with?

    The hole housed a small gold coloured medal. Looked quite good imo. No idea where you'd find one now though. Have sold the example of the same that I had, but will go through my photos, and if can find a pic of it (am sure I have one somewhere), I will post it here for your ref etc . Atb: G.
