I had a bit of idle time, so I went to do the devil's work (as in the devil finds work for idol (sic) hands.)
Here's a invite to show of your Dianas, i know lots of us have them, and some have many so show us what you got. There are my rifles, .22 cal 48 and 34 - guarded by the Huntress. I have Bandit and Chaser carbines too, pics later.

Before I bought my Diana48, in my mind I don't really like Diana too much... They are made in China (Chaser, P-Five, ZR scope mount....), and the rifles looks too long and slim... Anyway, the pure German Weihrauch looks better...

And so far I flipped my mind as I do like my new made in Germany Diana48 very much~ Then there's still an Air King looks even better~ [emoji38]

That"Huntress" must be the old Diana who actually already gave up on bow and arrows then picked up the air rifle now~ [emoji38] [emoji38]Image

This used to be my chaser, in .22 with a custom paint scheme (automotive clearcoat). Sold/exchanged it a while back...

Ha - I don't really know, but looks as if it could be one of these: Diana model 27 made in 1926.

Wow! That would be fantastic to see, let alone to own.

Recently found another pre-war beauty, a model 35 from the late 1930's, with the amazing two-stage trigger. Great condition (even still has the OEM front sight protector), and a very strong and accurate shooter.

Very nice rifle. Most of my Diana’s are branded as Gecado.

Wow, that one is a real beauty. I sure wish I had taken care of (and kept) my old air rifles.

Naww. PP800 is equivalent to Diana Bandit, the unregulated version PCP pistol.
PP800R is the regulated version. Here is what I did to mine some time ago, Eventually I replaced the "tactical, assault rifle" stock with a skeleton stock.
