Apparently the firm that has produced Diana airguns for decades ( a Family run Company) has sold the company to a giant German Conglomerate.
Now this brings a lot of questions up as to the future of the quality, lines and new models yet to come. Will they be better, Imported, will new models appear and old ones disappear, and what about the generally superfair prices of The Diana line?
Well the future plans weren't divulged in the translated article.
However the purchaser has developed a huge line of rimfire rifles and apparently has a good reputation in the Motherland!
It isn't one of those leverage buyouts rather a simple purchase by a good firm.
Boy things are going to change at Diana!
I for one am glad that I have the half dozen "OLD" Diana's just in case.
I'd suggest grabbing up a used .22 Model 34 just in case...
