    Just realised yours doesn't have a sight ramp (originally intended for a diopter, not a scope). Mine does.

    Which again suggests it's old.

    These M&Gs are frustrating. So many different minor variations, so badly documented.

    They were also sold in the US as a Peerless 35, a Hy-Score 809, and - briefly - as the Beeman 200. And in many places, especially the "British Commonwealth" as a Gecado or Geco. Some of the later ones, at least, must also have been sold as RWS, as well as Diana and Original.
    I can't find a date stamp anywhere, There's none on the side of the cylinder same as my Mod50's
