    You'll b lucky to get any thing useful from them. The original company, Mayer and Gramelspacher that made the 75 closed down some time ago, they initially lost the Diana name to Milbro as war reparations, why they were sold in the UK as Original, but got it back when Milbro went bust, I think around 1980 ish. Mayer and Gramelspacher traded on for few more years and developed some newer match rifles, but they were sold some time ago to a German company who just use the Diana name on plinking guns.

    If you google Mayer and Gramelspacher, they come up on wikipedia with the history.

    To be honest, I don't even expect a reply, let alone any good news!
    But they had a contact page so thought I may as well.

    Just a follow up on this for the kind folk who offered me eye cups.
    I bought a second rifle (an lgr) that had an eye cup, and now I've had chance to try sights with and without an eye cup, I think I prefer without anyway.
    I can see why people just took them off.

    What is their intended purpose anyway?
