    Tin plate collectors, valuation please

    Forgot that I had these two rifles so have no idea of therir value.
    As new Diana Model 0 side lever rifle .177 pellets + corks. never been fired. Came wrapped in brown paper with packet of corks.
    As new Daisy Model 100 .177 never been fired.
    Both bought from a dealer at arms fair in St Johns hotel Solihull 1980s apparently frustrated export order to Ireland.

    They are both very nice.

    I'd say £80 for the Daisy.
    £120 for the Diana.

    Just guesses tho!

    Think the Diana is quite rare in that condition. According to the Blue Book only made 1950-52. Called a model 10DL in the book, but they are not always correct with info.

    Thank you gingernut and Benelli for you replies.
    I thought that they were newly made not over thirty years old when I purchased them. The butt on on the Diana is stamped 10 51. I hadn't noticed the stamp. The condition of both seems to bear out what I was told about a container bound for Ireland being found years after the import was frustrated.
