    Talking Two vintage Diana Original Model 15 Rifles For Sale

    FOR SALE
    Diana / Original Model 15
    .177 Air Rifles ; one English one German


    I have pretty much the full suite of Dianas with numerous variations of the models, so am releasing a few back into the community as part of my ‘pruning’ exercise. For sale here are two Model 15’s. There are two Model 1's on a seperate post as I was exceeding the 10000 character limit trying to get them all on the same thread.

    The Model 15 was made from 1930 to 1945.

    This is the four:

    Rifle B: this is a nice tidy example of a British made Model 15.
    It has a wooden stock and blued sheet metal action with smoothbore .177 barrel. Its a break-barrel action.
    Condition; good. This example retains most of the blued finish with sporadic patches; see the piccies. The top is marked with the Diana Huntress emblem and DIANA MOD 15 MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN. The sides are also marked DIANA MADE IN GT. BRITAIN. Fore and rear sights are original; screwed down fixed foresight and rearsight with V notch adjustable for elevation with screw. The wooden stock has no splits or repairs and has a smooth butt. –Nice grain to this one with what looks like an oak stain. This has a few marks and scuffs and a chip to the top. It cocks and fires fine. –These are not high powered rifles.
    Asking £35 collected or posted at cost.
    *NOW SOLD!*

    Hi batfink. Have re-gigged your heading on the above slightly, so as to make it obvious that this is a different advert from the other vintage Diana advert you also have running for to other vintage Dianas . Atb: G.

    As stated on your other thread, both your adverts are very good indeed, so many congrats on their clarity from the BBS admin team. In fact, these ads make for such compelling viewing, that not only have I been returning to them on and off all day, but have now decided I would like to offer to buy rifle 'C' as above (the German Mod.15), and rifle 'A' as in your other advert (the better of the two Model 1's), for an all-in price of £60 plus post. If this is acceptable to you, do please let me know, and yhpm . Atb: G.
