Stonepark Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Well, a good morning at car boot, a 1942 printing of Peter Scott's Wild Chorus with colour plates for a £1 and I thought I was happy and then.... Diana Mod 1 in 177 and does a healthy 335fps with accupells for a £10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 £100 profit or hours of garden fun for about 2 pints of beer. Or both. Nothing like using tinplate smoothbores to question 'was I aiming right?' 😅 Cracking find and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 The Mod. 1 is becoming quite collectable and that one looks to be a nice example from the picture. Great find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butchdickason Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 The model 1 was my first airgun, Christmas present in 1953 when I was 9. Mine was not Diana 1 but Original 1, look exactley the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
