    If it wasn't for the stamped model no. I'd never believe that was a 24. It doesn't resemble any Original 24 I've ever seen. Stock, sights, no safety, have me scratching my head a bit. My best guess is that this is a very rare 24 SH variant which was intended for shooting galleries. It's basic spec. seems to point to this.
    Good luck with the sale.

    As a "Dodgy Diana User" (thank you, BBS), I have no idea at all what that is.

    The 24 is a mid-80s replacement for the 25 and 27, sharing base design with the 34. A number never used, I believe, before 1984.

    That's not that.

    The stock looks almost home-made. The rear sight looks pre-WW2.

    In addition, most post-WW2 German airgun stampings went "made in Germany" (early 50s), made in Germany west" (circa 1960), "made in west Germany" (mid-60s onward?).

    So you've stumped me. It's either incredibly rare and previously mostly unknown, or some kind of "bitsa". Maybe, indeed, a fairground rifle.

    Weird.

    And, no, I don't want it.

    Any date stamp on it, back on left side of the upper receiver, above the trigger group?

    Weird.

    Did I say weird?

    Weird.

    Date stamp in 5th photo states 03 8* . Last digit out of shot. The gun does look like a much older model somehow. Last edition of Walters book states 24SH had fixed sights and a sturdier than normal stock. He doesnt say any more on this variant.
    Looks like a forend groove is present : again, no other 24 variant has this.
