Hi,

the Diana 70 series were made in Motherwell by Milbro. From memory it might be a G74 model.

Does it have a brass liner in the barrel, I think they were made both rifled and smooth bore, though smoothbore comes to mind.

Trying to remember from a leaflet of the series which as a kid you would look at for days, weeks before being escorted to the gun shop with pater . I had a G77 from the same period when I was a lad, around about 1970.
