Bracia Pasławscy (Poland) 

This rifle was made in 1934 by Bracia Pasławscy (Brothers Pasławscy - Piotr Pasławski, Romuald Pasławski, Leon Pasławski).

With thanks to Robert S of Polish website Forum Kolekcjonerów Wiatrówek.

Robert says: "This is a Polish airgun made by "B-cia Pasławscy" (Brothers Pasławscy) in 1934. It was made as training rifle for the Polish military. It's a very rare item. Approximately 1500 pieces were manufactured. There are only a few examples of this air rifle (one in the Museum of the Polish Army and a few in the hands of collectors). Interestingly, it's based on Diana 27 components."

Bracia Pasławscy air rifle (1938/39) 

With thanks to Veco.

He says:

Pre WW2 in Poland there was a  company called Pasławski Brothers located in Warsaw that made air rifles. In 1938 the company received a contract from the Polish Army for the supply of 15000 pieces to the army, but up to the outbreak of war in 1939 it had produced only about 1000 of these, and very few of them have survived. This is one of the survivors, still in excellent condition.
