Grant the Kiwi posted "The Story of Mayer & Grammelspacher." on his forum the other day - thought you Diana freaks may enjoy a trip down under to read it  . 

thanks Rick!

Grant has a ton of great info there on many airgun items . Browse and enjoy .

you are a book worm Rick. LOL

good research and history of the early airguns, I read the parts about the 48 model E and saw the picture of it. It does not look like my 48 at all, no mention about velocity but with leather seals these guns were peobably in 400-500 FPS, MY GUESS

warren

and remember "it's 30% the gun and 70% the shooter"
