    Smile Two Vintage Diana Original Model 1 Rifles For Sale

    FOR SALE
    VINTAGE DIANA / ORIGINAL MODEL 1
    .177 AIR RIFLES

    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 1’s. There are two Model 15's on a seperate post as I was exceeding the 10000 character limit trying to get them all on the same thread.

    This is the four:
    http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/o...tfink/gang.jpg

    One now sold one still availble!
    The Diana Model 1 came out in the 1920’s and was in production until 1945, and then again in 1952. Quite a few were marked with an independent retailers name or trademark.

    Rifle A: this is a nice tidy example of the Model 1.
    It has a wooden stock and blued tinplate action. The barrel has a removeable tube insert to load the pellet into, and its cocked break-barrel style with two sprung wire latches that keep the action in place.
    Condition; good. This example retains most of the blued finish; see the piccies. The top is marked “Original” MOD.1 and the words MADE IN WEST GERMANY appear underneath towards the stock. Fore and rear sights are original. The wooden stock has no splits or repairs and has a ribbed butt. This has a varnished finish with some marks and scuffs. It cocks and fires fine. –These are not high powered rifles.
    Asking £30 collected or posted at cost. -SOLD to Gareth

    ---------------------------------

    Rifle D: this is another example of the Model 1. It has a wooden stock and blued tinplate action. The barrel has a removeable tube insert to load the pellet into, and its cocked break-barrel style with two sprung wire latches that keep the action in place.
    Condition; good. This example has had a life! The blued finish is very worn; see the piccies. The top is marked with the Diana Huntress emblem and the word DIANA within a rectangular lozenge is marked to the sides. Fore and rear sights are repaired or virtually worn down. The wooden stock is has no splits or repairs and has a smooth butt. It has a few marks and scuffs, a chip to the top and two small holes drilled at the but end. It cocks and fires fine. –These are not high powered rifles.
    Asking £15 collected or posted at cost.-SOLD to royalscotsgrays pending usual!

    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.

    Please post here if you want them!

    I've had some interest from a couple of people about both the Mod 1's and Mod 15's, so please, if you definately want them can you post on the thread to comply with BBS etiquette.
    Ta!

    Thumbs up

    Batfink I have to compliment you on your excellent sales ads - good descriptions and lots of clear, detailed pics that leave nothing to chance. If only everone took such care!

    Good luck with the sales.

    Yes, a wonderfully clear set of adverts that I have been returning to again and again all day . In fact, I have been returning to these adverts so often today, that I have decided that I would like to offer to buy rifle 'A' as above (the better of the two Mod.1's), and rifle 'C' as in your other advert (the German Mod.15), for an all-in price of £60 plus post. If this is acceptable to you, do please let me know, and yhpm . Atb: G.

    Hi there, yes, I've just had a really good look at it and have found the words "MADE IN GERMANY" in small print stamped to the underside metal work where it buts up to the stock.
