Particularly if there was a potted history of the company and about each model that they introduced stating introduction dates n.maybe production numbers.
    A company this size may employ their own IT guy in house that could be set to work on that provided he is given the blurb to work with.

    I like the idea Dave but I guess that they lost a lot of the old guns when they changed factories, here are just a few from the old factory museum

    I think the old site was better as it was available in English and seemed to be better laid out.

    Possibly another example of Diana not really taking the UK market seriously. Current prices here in the UK do seem to be on the rise again generally and yet again Diana seem to be happy with the crumbs from the table here in the UK

    Uk prices are variable from dealer to dealer. Bargains can be had.
    The US is a huge market for Diana so English text on the site would be helpful. Around the world more people speak English than German, so English would be very helpful. It will surely come. It took them an absolute age to get the new website up so another few months to get an English language version going wouldn't surprise me.

    Point taken about the US.
    Regarding prices, I've seen come shops now not stocking diana's, so very tempted to think bargain prices may be remnants of the old importers stock. I may be wrong though

    Then to be honest they don't deserve a piece of the UK market, I asked them last year to make me a replica of the 34 120th anniversary model as they do a bespoke custom service and they will do anything you want to one of their rifles (probably pay through the nose for it), they came back saying they couldn't do it, all they have to do is put a 34 premium shaped walnut stock with skip line checkering on a standard action and I would be happy.
