    I always say that if you are happy with what you have paid, the price does not really matter!
    You can get them reblued for around £60+ if it's that bad!

    If he paid £70 for it then he must have thought so or he wouldn`t have bought it.
    So , as Airsporterman says.

    Hi,

    £70.00 is not a bad price,it is however in the eye of the beholder..His want meter obviously went into overdrive..Look on the bright side...They are not making any more of them ever....!!!!

    yes thats a fair point not many left now and it is a lovely old rifle i think it was a reactive buy. he saw it and paid what the guy wanted for it. who does a good rebluing service?

    Hi,

    I see you are in Worcester so presume your mate is near...There is someone near Walsall don't know who..Sandwell must know as I am sure DAI do as well ...Steve Pope works out of DAI so he could try there for a Quote, I am sure he does his own,mention when he has it done, that he wants....the witness marks from original manufacture left on the rifle,I would .....It would be a shame to put a real good polish so that it looked like a piece of Black Plastic,,no need for a Best Shotgun finish on an Air-Rifle it would look out of place......

    Regard's

    Hi, I had for sale a year or 2, Back an Original 27 , £70 posted , No takers,Etc.
    The Original with Ball bearing trigger is twice the gun the Diana is !!!
    The Originals ( Of any number ) Are far better guns , Just My opinion !
