Wonderful! The Diana 58 is an amazing air rifle - I got to shoot one belonging to a friend at last year's Hickory airgun show which was a highlight to say the least.

The model 58 was built in the 1930's, and is one of the "holy grails" of airgun collecting. It was the first Diana model to have the amazing two-stage striker-type trigger which later filtered down to lesser models. There were three versions of it - the first cocked the trigger via a bolt (the gun was intended as a military trainer), the second had the pull knob seen on this example, and the third cocked action and trigger in a single stroke of the underlever.
