Prompted by a conversation on the other forum (see Unframed Dave’s recent post for the sad inter-forum stupidity).

It appears that UMA, the 1972-vintage initial version of what became UMAREX (via UMARECK - as in the Reck blank guns) may at some point in the 70s or early 80s sold some Milbro guns under that brand on the continent (where M&G still owned the Diana trade mark).

There’s also an intruiging reference in Walter (3rd edition) that some of the Milbro plant after they folded was sold “to Spain”.

Which suggest three options:

1. Milbro sold guns on the continent via UMA.

2. A Spanish maker briefly kept making guns on the Milbro machinery and sold them via UMA.

3. Either both, or something else.

Anyone know anything?
