Crude, inaccurate, cheap and possibly the most long-running airgun design in history, that’s the pop-out “gat” in its various guises. Before World War II, there were numerous such models, including the Dolla (which was probably what it cost to buy at the time!), the William Tell, the Cub, the Scout, the Briton, the Limit and the Diana.
At this time the Diana Model 2 was made by Mayer & Grammelspacher in Germany and was an all-steel tin-plate design. Only post-war did it gain a wooden handle. It was sold by the Millard Brothers (Milbro) who manufactured it using tooling confiscated from M&G by the French after the war.
M&G later reinstated production and sold their Original-branded version in parallel with Milbro's Diana.
Apart from the branding, the only notable difference…
