Milbro Diana 25
After WWII, Millard Brothers of Motherwell, Lanarkshire, Scotland were given the machinery and parts inventory from the Dianwerck factory in reparation for damages caused to their facilities by German bombers.
From 1947 to approx 1980 they made copies, and improvements?, of Diana designs.
The Milbro Diana 25 was apparently made from 1947-1960.
If my notes are correct, it should be 37" o/a with a 15 1/8 " barrel.
The G25 improved version was made until about 1967.
Millard Brothers went bankrupt approx 1980.
The production date on a 25 was usually stamped on the butt of the stock.
The guns lacked the fit and finish of German Diana's.
The Milbro 25's that I have seen had stiffer than German mainsprings (I never know if they're original) and produced about 550 - 600 fps in .177.
The stock is probably repairable with internal screws, epoxy, and polyurethane glue.
Definitely a keeper.
