Yep
Does anyone know if the main piston seal from a Walther LG55 fit a Walther LGV Match?

Yep
I.J.,
It depends on whether your LG55 is a late or early model.
The late model has the same piston seal arrangement as the LGV - a spiggot that slots into a keyhole in the piston face.
The early LG55s had a central screw in the washer assembly - like the 1970s Dianas (Originals).
Have fun & a good weekend

Thank you both gents.
It is the later key hole type (similar to the BSA Meteor) and I have ordered a synthetic replacement for the original leather washer one. I recently bought the gun and its fitted with a poorly modified HW (?) type seal, so ....
Many thanks.

The seal on a LGV where never made from leather.
Have been making my own replacement adapter to fit a HW seal, allmost identical to a original one.
(sorry for the bad pic)
And I love my Walthers too.

Doable with hand tools too
Just for interest as a temporary fix the HW seal will fit the LG55 screwed on washer and works well enough
The parts arrived. Well done Chambers.
I shall fit it the next rainy day. Ive got other new toys to play with today.
Thanks for all the help.

Job done.
Its now doing 600 fps with a 4 to 5 fps variation with R10 pistol and very smooth. I just need my mate Andy (AMAC from up North) to put a few pellets through it.
