Pics of my 25 from 1960.
The date stamp on the butt is at the upper end, they aren't stamped very deep and with years of being stood on rough floors they disappear with wear. Diana's also have date stamps on the left of the cylinder but I don't think this applies to this vintage of model 25.
I've photo'd the end cap and rear sight Often they have the sliding ramp but mine isn't.
It also has three threaded holes for a scope rail , which I have removed as it covers half of the huntress figure. The rail has marked the blue though so really needs to go back on.
Bought this in 1984 for £7 when I was first collecting.
I returned to collecting a couple of rears ago and this is 1 of 5 that I have kept from that first journey.
This time around I still seem to have used my rose tinted specs when buying a few
