    I think they were made by Milbro (Milliard Brothers). After WW2 they took over much of the machinery from Diana as war reparations, moving it to Scotland & the Junior/Jaguar is based on the Diana 22. So you have German Dianas & British Dianas - caused confusion ever since, as Mr Thrale says in his excellent book.

    I did get the Webley Falcon for my 12th birthday.

    Needless to say, I still have it and do shoot it from time to time.

    Steve.
