I have just pick up a Daisy 230 which was made in Scotland by Diana,I thought its unusual in being a .22 for what is a junior gun,its in good condition and is nice to shoot,made mid sixties I think, I have not seen one before are they rare or collectable?

I have just copied this from the Blue Book:


"DAISY MODEL 230
- .22 cal., BBC, SP, blue finish. Mfg. by Milbro in Scotland, 1965-74 "
Manufactured by Milbro, who also made Diana from 1950 to 1984.
The value of a 'mint' Model 230 is listed as $80 US, about £50 GBP, which would tend to suggest they are neither rare or collectable, but I may be wrong!
