I think what you've got is a version of the Cougar Pistol made by Diana. Quite a rare but unpopular gun.
Hello gents. I have air rifle with a skeleton stock called a "Black Major" by "Millard Brothers". Can anybody give me any information plus a valuation? Regards Old Bull

I don't mind what sexual, religious or political persuasion you are, just don't impose them on me!!
Just out of interest, you got any pics for reference?
This is the thing that had a sort of early 'heads-up' display sight, only worked in good light though as it was unpowered. Milbro's last gasp before they went under.

The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
It looks very nice with that shoulder stock. I have 2 Cougars, one with wire stock, it looks a lot alike, but the Black Major is stunning.
Pity I don't see them more often.
