1960’ Diana Mod 27 .22 Air Rifle. AI 679 - AI 679 Diana as a brand is German in origin, hailing from Mayer and Grammelspacher dating back to 1890, and the company certainly has a colourful history. The Model 27 first saw light of day way back in 1910; although its early form followed the basic blueprint of the day, with no forend to speak of, just the butt section. Sold around the world under various guises (namely Original, Beeman, Hy-Score, and Milbro) it’s all part of the identity crisis suffered by Mayer and Grammelspacher through two world wars! Features include an adjustable rear sight and also an adjustable breech bolt, with a lockable adjuster. The Diana 27 (1953-1987) is a break barrel single shot spring-piston air rifle. It was made in both .177 and .22 calibres, though when some companies like Hy-Score (807) and Winchester (427) rebranded it, they did so in .22, only. The rifle has a one-piece beech wood stock that’s fairly flat, so not a lot of shaping was done. The barrelled action is all steel. Though plain looking, it also looks upper class when compared to the new air rifles we see today. 41 ¾“ in total length with a 14” barrel. The dark wooden stock has a few small use related marks and the metal work retains the majority of its blueing with rub marks on the cocking lever. The front of the barrel has light surface rust. The top of the cylinder wears the Diana motif with ‘Diana MOD.27 Made in GT Britain’ ‘Drilled for Scope -.22’. The serial No 271745 is on the cocking elbow and the age 5 60 (May 1960) is stamped to the butt end of the stock. The price includes UK delivery.
