This may have mostly been an 11th-hour effort to clear out old parts by Diana I don't know that the model 60 ever appeared in an RWS catalog, and I'm pretty sure it's the only Giss barrel-cocker to see RWS markings.
#BSA LINCOLN JEFFRIES AIR RIFLE 1909 SERIAL#
Which leads to the odd markings – this 1982-vintage gun (note the first two digits of the serial the tiny date stamp on the left rear receiver reads "08 82") was late enough to be sold under the RWS logo. Although the 60 was replaced as Diana's top match model by the locked-breech model 65/66 action a few years later, it actually outlived those guns, remaining in production as Diana's intro/junior model until about 1983. The model 60 was the first of the Giss double-piston recoilless match rifles, hitting the market in the early 60's. (quoted from an R Beeman article)Īnother Diana, this time a model 60 Tyrolean.

I am only asking £120 posted - Price now dropped to £110 posted. However, it is a good looking rifle that fires nicely. It has the odd mark on the metal and on the stock and it has a couple of screw heads that have been mullered. It has a reasonable patina on the metal and stock gained with age. It is 43¼ inches long and it is stamped “Made in Germany” with the numbers “1 9 31 E” stamped underneath the barrel (presumably the date). 0.177 calibre with flip up and down sights. Sold to mowerman with thanksĪ Haenel Model 11 D.R.P. Due to the poor reblueing job, I am only asking for £130 posted. Apart from that, it has a nice sweet action and fires well with power. The butt has the BSA trademark showing the three rifles and a mark where somebody has had it in a vice. It is also stamped “The Lincoln Jeffries Patent” underneath the barrel. It is stamped “BSA Air Rifle made by Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited" on the top of the cylinder.
