They were marked Diana on the under side. Very soft and pliable as well as indestructible. I kept one in a TX for 50,000+ shots and only removed it because I thought it had to be old and worn out. Still around somewhere and still pliable. Maccari now makes his own version of the old blue seal and it's also every bit as good. The joke reference is that I know you love Dianas. I've seen the same seal in a 48, but it was much too large for a TX.
    Not sure how that would work as the Diana blue seals are 28mm and TX/PS seals are 25mm I expect the wedge piston fitting may be the same but unless they were a experimental seal by Maccari and may be he was doing 25mm conversions on Diana's ??

    Custom air seals do a blue seal. Its a closed face type and marketed for Gamo rifles. It does fit the TX piston

    I know, I had one in my Brocock Independant before I converted it to the 25mm HW seal but mine was red and wasn't closed faced but yes they also fit the TX.

    The Diana seal for the TX is from the 24/27 and 94 rifles. They have a 1" seal.

    Aha! that answers that then, I gracefully stand corrected, not knowing overly lots about Diana's I have only ever worked on the later 34's which have the 28mm blue seal.
