    I agree that is one beautiful air-rifle, like a Mannlicher of the same period.

    My missus has a Diana 27 that is very accurate:

    I'm a big fan of my 1920's Millita, although it took some fettling to get it shooting really well:

    I would be interested in adding a Heanel one day.

    That FLZ is gorgeous, don't think I've ever seen one for sale.

    Cheers,

    Webley Service for me - well the barrel is used as a cocking lever!

    I also used to own a lovely Ansonia Millita type with a gorgeous stock.

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
