Genschow price list mid-1930s.

 

With thanks again to Trev A for these scans. [Due to a technical glitch the entry for the Diana 45 was not picked up by the scanner and the pic of the model 58 is also absent. Otherwise it is complete!]

Diana brochure 1938.

 

Note the pellet price correction at the bottom of page 4, dated March 15th 1938.
But the document seems to date from several years earlier since the mods 45 and 58
underlevers are shown to be "DRPa", which means patent pending.

A page is missing (see Genschow price list post) which shows the Dianas 25, 27 and 35.

Geco catalogue #45 (export) c.1929-1932.

 

With thanks to Bob A for these scans.

Bob says the catalogue was produced in circa 1929 but was used until at least summer 1932, with only updated export price lists being sent out to dealers during that time.

WW1-era Diana brochure 

This seems to be a very early Diana brochure, given away with an early 3-rivet stock Diana mod 20 during the factory museum sell-off after Diana was purchased some years ago. It is printed using Gothic-type script and has a boy wearing what looks to be a WW1-era uniform.

Diana air rifles flyer early-to-mid 1920s? 

This seems to be an early one, given the limited range of models and the fact the early goddess mark had 'registered trademark' under it - perhaps only recently registered?

Note also that the model 20 has three stock rivets, like this early rifle:
