valuation of original mod 50

[air-tech]

Nice honest gun, wish I could be in the running but not in the UK at the moment. Have a bit of a model 50 addiction... not entirely sure how many I have

Dispassionately, it looks like the rearsight is from a later Diana, normally they have a smaller type of rearsight, looks just like the very bottom sight in the pic here: http://www.maltashootingsports.com/i...rws_sights.jpg

Then again perhaps the very latest model of your style of gun (pre- the blocky stock types) may have had that sight.

Who knows, the "proper" ones tend to break so everything is possible.

I'd say £140 posted to start off with.

Yours is in excellent order so you should get the higher valuation. There are quite a lot of 50's about and non were particularly powerful/near the limit. However, they shoot well and look fantastic.
Good luck with the sale; someone should be happy.

Many thanks 😃]

Yes, letting you know pics work - nice looking gun. I'd be happy to own it.
Sadly, I've no idea of the value. But someone will.

Whoops - due to PC probs didn't realise you'd had replies concerning pics

Mr 'Original' or James as we all now know

As Air Tech said it looks 'honest' (ie not messed with externally) & I also think he is right about the rear sight BUT Diana/Original/M&G iron sights changed frequently during production runs.
What I can say is the Globe Fore Sight looks good & they are the most difficult to replace.

I HAVE () to stay away from any pricing advice/discussion but I (me, myself personally ) wouldn't part with that gun for less than 150 smackers, if I was the owner. (Purely Theoretical Musings).


Actually, my real advice would be to keep the gun unless you have some particular "issues" with having a gun at home, because you'll never get anything that good for that sort of money
