    Ye gads the woman is mad!

    My dear wife, very very dear wife, has purchased an air rifle from the 1980s, a Condor Model 25D, which as far as I can make out is a Diana 25 made when they could not call them Dianas, needs stripping and reblueing, also needs new front and rear sights, as well as some dings on the stock sorting out before sanding down and re-oiling!

    Now that is very interesting! I am not aware of Milbro ever making a Diana Condor 25D. 'Air Force' made a Condor - an excellent rifle, but Milbro??
    Do you have any pics of your wifes new acquisition? I would be very interested in seeing it.

    Condor was definitely one of the names Diana used during the years when it couldn't use Diana for exports. IBut I don't think many of the Condor brand were sold here. I read somewhere that Condors were sold in Canada. Other brands Diana sold under were Original, Gecado, Peerless, Geco, Winchester and Hy-Score.

    Another bit of wisdom from our resident anorak! Thanks Danny.

    Some did make it over, I think she has found one!

    It has been confirmed as being an M&G rifle, so it is a Diana!
