Wes, I got the Diana about a year later, then after that I got a Webley, the one with the barrel over the top of the spring housing!Same year BUT, I got the upmarket Diana model, with wood grips mine was £2 (including fitting !)

God I had a Gat it had to be the most inaccurate thing devised took it to bits and packed the spring with washers to improve the power Then had a Webley premier I think it was had an over lever that cocked it. First real air guns were a Theoben SLR and then after that and FAC Theoben Rapid 12 sold that when I left the UK. First shotgun Silver Pigeon III 2005 still have it lovely wee gun but should really sell that as it will never be used again by me. Anybody want to buy a Silver Pigeon III believe it or not that gun has fired less than 500 shells I was a member of a syndicate for ten years where some days you would only fire ten rounds :lol:
Just saw that Les I had the same quite an accurate wee pistol as my memory serves me my brother shot a sparrow from the kitchen window with it ... then says oh I never thought I would hit it :lol:

So did I ! I knackered the Diana by fitting a new spring and half of the old one, I used the Old Man's sash clamp to squeeze it all together. The first time I fired it, the whole damned barrel shot out and into the Liverpool to Leeds canal !
