The single-stage trigger is adjustable for pressure. The sights are metal with the front sight being able to be switched from a bead to a blade and the rear adjustable sight could switch between a "V" and "square notch". The cylinder has two shallow grooves to accept a telescopic sight.

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.

Many English gunmakers included Westley Richards did not proceed with the concept of a military style air rifle beyond the prototype stage but BSA did and introduced the Military Pattern ‘Long’ air rifle in 1907 which continued to be made in small quantities until 1914. A short pattern was also advertised but no examples are known to exist (see Chapter 13 of ‘The Book Of The BSA Air Rifle 1905-1939 by Milewski). The rifles resembled the Long Lee Enfield rifle of the British army and the dummy bolt added to the weight and realism. Early variants were only made in .177 calibre and had underlevers with the bayonet/ duck bill style protrusion the same as ours. Long examples were affectionately known as 'Long Lees'. This is an excellent original early .177 calibre variant of the BSA Military Long Rifle pattern, Territorial or volunteer training under-lever air rifle with dummy bolt, flip-up ladder rear sight, sling mounts and top marked 'Made by The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited BSA Military Air Rifle'. It is early serial number 69. The rifle has a 21” long rifled barrel with block and blade fore sight. The rifled bore is clean and it measures 49” overall. It has undamaged all original military grade wood work impressed with BSA’s piled arms trademark & correct steel butt plate without trap. The bayonet style underlever has the correct Lincoln Jeffries Patent marking. The loading tap is marked ‘Patent’ and above the loading port has BSA’s piled arms trademark. The rifle cocks and fires correctly with a strong spring action. The price for this air rifle arguably one of the rarest and most desirable includes UK delivery. Sn 20405
