Diana Diana/RWS

Some very nice and unique airguns that encompass a wide spectrum from low powered, ultra precise 10M guns to potent hunters. They cover the bases from break barrel to underlever and sidelevers too. They have made recoilless pistols and rifles that employ sledge or Giss systems. As far as I know they are the one and only maker to have so many variations and they even made a rarely seen or mentioned repeating air rifle!

P5- hard hitting pistol with a good trigger and accuracy

Beeman 800/Diana 6 with very rare wire shoulder stock

Model 10- match quality recoilless Giss system pistol

38- upgraded 34/36, I think this is one of the nicest looking break barrels around

54- potent and heavy sidelever, sledge system

230 RWS 54.1646526901.JPG


56TH- even heavier but the same power plant as the 54 with a thumbhole stock, low luster metal finish and large barrel weight.

233 RWS 56 .22 2.1646526930.JPG


60 Tyrolean- the introduction of the Giss recoilless system

65 Tyrolean- another Giss rifle but with barrel lock lever

191 Diana 65T 2.1646527200.jpg


75B- a less common variation of the superb model 75 line

192 Diana 75B T01.1646527310.JPG


75S- a slimmer and more adjustable stock than the B model

194 Diana 75S.1646527361.JPG


300R- the R stands for repeater. It uses a rotary magazine similar to the Theoben SLR that feeds pellets into the breech each time the rifle is cocked

196 Diana 300R magazine.1646527730.jpg


430 Stutzen- an underlever with long stock that extends almost to the muzzle

200 Diana 430 Stutzen.1646527967.JPG


RWS- similar to Beeman being an importer they marked and marketed airguns made by other well known makers.

RWS marked TX200 MKII, there are no Air Arms markings on it.

RWS RA-800- a very rare Theoben made product, estimates are about 40 being produced.

First version of the post-war Diana model 5 pistol. Extensively textured wood grip/frame, tapered barrel, slimmed-down breech jaws. Nicely balanced gun with a very fine adjustable trigger.

Pre-war model 45 underlever, first version with single-stage trigger. The post-war British Webley Mk 3 rifle is basically a straight copy of this gun.

Four target-shooting Dianas of the 1950's pre-recoilless era. Top to bottom: models 35/b; 50/a; 50/b; first version 50M. All four have the rotating "star" front sight, and two-mode rear sight (mounts forward as an open sight, or with aperture attachment on a separate rear rail). The 35/b and 50M are Stoeger's imports, in .22 caliber with "Peerless" markings.

A few model 27's, one of the greatest light sporter air rifles ever. The DRP gun has a superb 2-stage trigger; the blonde Milbro gun consists of pre-war German parts finished and assembled in Scotland in the early 1950's.
