Reply With QuoteNo idea. At all. Before I opened the link I was thinking a South American copy of a Webley, but that's a new one on me. Looks like it has a bit of Diana LP5 in its DNA.

Things seem to have been bit slow on here the last few days, so I thought a bit of a challenge for the keen pistol collectors might be timely.
Mystery spring air pistols do not crop up very often, especially those from countries not generally known to produce air guns, so I was surprised very recently to come across this rare example, and I was even more surprised when I found out where it was made.

It is a not recent introduction and so must be extremely rare outside its country of origin. So, can anyone identify it, or guess where it was made? All will be revealed eventually.
P.S. it is NOT Indian !

The Argentinian Mahely ( http://www.network54.com/Forum/68145...4500533/Pistol) is an over-lever barrel cocking pistol like the Webleys, but this one is a conventional break barrel. You are in right the neck of the woods location-wise though, but it is not from Argentina.

Reminds me of a Milbro Cougar. Have no idea as to country of origin, guess at Brazil. Woodwork looks homemade :s

I would also guess Brazil. Can't remember the name of a Brazilian air rifle maker but know there is one as I have shot their junior modelThe front bit of wood looks like some cheap mahogany I used in woodwork class many many years ago

If it's not in your book, I would have no idea.

You are a genious Trevor! Mexico it is, and they are going to get even rarer when the Trump wall
is built.
Now, can anyone tell me its name and maker?

Wild guess, Mendoza?

Surprisingly it is not Mendoza but another much less well know Mexican company. The wood grip pistol probably dates from the 1980's-90's, but there is a more updated version from at least a few years ago. So a picture of this one might help: http://imgur.com/a/byOq7
