Nostalgia: What was your first airgun….?

Probably in the wrong section, but still: If you can talk about bows and arrows here, why not how it all started airgunwise………..

I remember my own debut very well. One guy in my class had this wonderful Diana35 springer that we all lusted for. It was the most powerful gun around in those days. I talked him into lending it to me for a few days (trading for a few Corgi toys cars). I was twelve at the time (1959), and those were the days where red squirrels were plentiful and morals hadn’t been invented (as far as I know)…… 😳

To cut it short, – he never got it back. I think I told him it had been stolen or something, -poor guy. Anyway I still have it. In its original condition. She has never been opened and she still shoots quite well. The number of magpies etc. that have ended their lives due to her abilities is classified information………… 😉

Here it is:

A brilliant example of German post war engineering ………..

What was your first airgun ?
