    Who likes Traditional looking springers, what's your favorite

    Im not talking about the PS and custom jobs, just nice looking old school factory classics, like the 77 and 80, any new stuff that can compare when it comes to classic looks?

    Not sure if most would class my suggestion as being entirely traditional looking but for me the Original/Diana series 50 are to my mind a handsome looking gun whether in its early guise or even it's last outgoing T01 format.

    You mean things still in production? Some of the Diana 31/34 woodstock variants, and most of the HW springers, and the TX (though I dislike the latest Mk3 chequering).

    Both just what you think is a nice traditional looking springer.
    Everyone might not agree but this is my idea of a modern traditional looking springer

    I just got my hands on this weekend an ok condition HW80 and even though it's a bit dinged up I think everything about it just looks right. I also have a mint condition TX200hc which is also a lovely looking gun, but there's just something about the big HW I really like.

    The BSF 55 Deluxe & the S70 are pure class & I do like MK1 HW80,85 & the elegant HW35E not forgetting the FWB Sport.

    In the Diana range the Original 35S has nice lines better looking than the 34 I think.

    My MKI Airsporter, is without doubt the best looking springer ever, ever made, just my opinion though
