Very interesting Diana mod 6 woodstock pistol. It's a strange one - it is in a rare 1st pattern box and seems to have a 1st pattern front sight, but the wood grip appears to be dark stained beech with a Diana badge, like the first mod 5s, rather than the 'usual' lighter walnut with a blank area where the badge is on these early mod 6s.

I think that red instruction booklet in the box may be a 1970s one, or at least has the same cover design as the later ones.

But several of these mod 6 woodstocks have turned up with anomalous features, so no reason to think funny business.

Could you email me higher res pics of this pistol if you have them, please?

Hi Danny,

The owner showed me the pistol and it was unmarked other than the Diana name on the one piece wooden grip. I was told it dates from 1960 but am no expert on these pistols. It looked to be in very fine condition with just a few minor handling marks.

Kind regards,

John
