I’d be interested to know if you found a serial number or date on that rifle. Years ago I briefly owned a model 50 with that stock (still kicking myself for selling it), which was .22 caliber and had “Original” markings. IIRC, it had the solid metal trigger, so may have been an earlier example.
The Stoeger Peerless connection fascinates me as well. I have two prewar Stoegers now, a Tell 2 and a Webley Straight Grip Senior. Did they customize any of the Diana’s or are they just rebranded? I think every gun I buy seems to open up a new obsession! Lol
