That was a lovely read Robin. So nice of Herr Walther to listen to constructive criticism and then generously act on it. What a surprise that must have been! I have in my possession an Original 75 HV complete with all of the tools and alternative foresight weight assembly etc. It is a wonderfully engineered rifle virtually unmarked. If my example is anything to go by, the Diana factory must of sourced some excellent walnut for the stock blanks. I'm assuming German walnut was used?
