Help IDing Diana Model 50

[frakor]

These guns where not restricted when new, only rifles made after 1970 where restricted.
That means the Germas can own and shoot a pre 1970 rifle with more then 6 fpe ....
The modell 50 was allways popular in Germany and a legal pre 1970 "powerhouse" makes them extra popular and can reach high prizes.
When you are lucky with a new spring and piston seal (and a good sealing loading tap) they can reach 10 fpe.

Looked at a lot of posts and the early model 50’s were powered right where mine is. Later models increased the power a little more but these were never that powerful. Have no interest trying to boost it, my backyards isn’t that long. Lol. But I can see where a pre-1970 gun would have added value there, explains some of those prices.
