Nice pistol, not seen one like that before.

My Mum's one has a wooden grip and is more common on the web than that one.

Entering it in the MPL?? ;)

I think you are right - there are very few of the tinplate ones about - it took me well over 50 years to find the one shown on my site, but it could be like the proverbial number 3 bus and we see thousands of them pop-up (sorry) for sale now !

If we both take a second entry to the 6 yard MPL competition to shoot our old Diana pop-outs against each other, we will both have plenty of unspoiled target to practice with in the future! :D
Feinwerkbau P40 Tricolour wanted.........still !

True, but I will have many, many more holes in my garage wall and smashed windows to boot!

Now if we were to have a 3 yard MPL just for the pop-outs?

Safety glasses and a cricketer's cup would be appropriate, too.

Even 3 yards would be a stiff challenge - and we are more likely to get hit by the rebounds than the target ! :lol:
