Product Details

A RARE .22 UNDER-LEVER AIR-RIFLE SIGNED DIANA, MODEL '58-3', serial no. 1034, probably a date code for October 1934, with sighted 18 1/2in. barrel, manual load tap, plain air chamber without provision for telescopic sight and walnut half-stock with finger-grooved fore-end, finish worn

Provenance: A hard air rifle to find, these Diana under-levers cost twice as much as a Winchester Model 12 shotgun in 1930. This is most likely a third model, although many sub variants exist. The designs for this air-rifle were taken by the Allies after WW2 and given to Webley & Scott, who redesigned it as the Webley MK3 under-lever
