Man, I just spent the last 1 1/2 weeks reading everything I could find on the history of Diana and now I have to figure out the Beeman tie in too?! That Model 27 is a beauty, thanks for sharing. I remember those old Beemans. Couple of brothers I used to hunt with in HS showed up one day (would have been late 70's or early 80's) to squirrel hunt with a pair. AIR RIFLES?! YOU MEAN BB GUNS?! I was unimpressed LOL. Had I known then what I know now... Not the first time in my later years I've said that.
