The fun of a Stoeger 1934 Catalog

That is interesting.

The Diana 58 (2e series) you are referring to , what do you think a second hand one would cost today? ( IF you can find one)
Or even what would the price be of one made new today ?

Funny I never looked but the current blue book price of that 58 is $1300

That's a great find. Especially like the Stoegers business card.

When first starting out on my little project, the main target was Stoegers catalogs. The real prize being the 1939 catalog which introduced things like the Brown Pneumatic. Eventually found every year up until they basically dropped airguns sometime in the '60s I think. These were so cheap back in the day that I thought nothing of cutting out the airgun pages and safely storing them in archival top load folders... tossed the rest away in the trash. Spent many a happy hour thumbing through 30-some years of airgun innovation.

repeat the claim that the first series Webley Service was accurate out to 80 yards!

It probably was accurate in perfectly still conditions and as long as you had the 3(?) inches of holdover in exactly the same position.
