I think - as I've said here many times before - that the Diana/Original mod 6 is the best kept 'secret' of the airgun world if you want a fun, accurate, relatively powerful, well-made and brilliantly-designed spring air pistol (and who doesn't?!).
So £220 for a mint example, even recently resealed, is too high a price to pay but not necessarily more than it is worth in one sense.
They are undervalued because so many were made over 40-odd years, and supply and demand means they can still be picked up quite cheaply.
Something similar is true of the FWB 65/80/90 but because in its day it was more costly and a top-end match pistol with no 'mass market' budget equivalent like the Diana, prices of the FWBs are almost double today.
In sheer fun-to-cost terms, a resealed Diana mod 6 against anything new of the same price is infinitey better in every way and you would be mad not to recognise this simple fact.
