I don't know of a .20 cal Original/Diana mod 5, Ian, but the Bergmann arcade pistols, which started out as Diana mods 5 were found in .21 and .22 smoothbore cals (ref J Griffiths Encyclopedia of Spring Air Pistols).
Ive seen for sale an Original mod 5 pistol, brown plastic grips, marked up as .20 cal. Ive never seen/heard of such and Ive not got access to my reference books as Im away from home.
Is there such a thing, its approx. value or have they, as I suspect marked it up wrong????
Thanks for any info.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
Thanks for that.
I'm begging to think the pistol has been labelled incorrectly but I shall find out tomorrow.

.20never seen one, only .177 and some .22.
It was marked up incorrectly and was a .22 (dated 07.88)
Oh well, my search of gun shops, antique/junk shops and flea markets for the elusive rare air gun continues.
