I received a nice vintage Beeman break barrel pistol in .177 caliber. It says on the barrel: "Original" mod 5 made in Germany for Beemans precision airguns. It has a thumb-groove for a right handed shooter and has a brown plastic body. I also have the original foam box with clear lid. Would like to know it's age. I think it's from the 50's or 60's. If someone could please tell me some info on this pistol, I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried to find out anything and have not been able to. Thanks!!!   Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 12:44 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Beeman imported guns from two German manufacturers- Weihrauch and Diana. You have a Diana Model 5. It was made from the late 50s to the late 70s. Based on the plastic brown grips- yours is from the late 70s (gray plastic grips in the early 70s, wood grips prior to that). _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I have not been able to find any info on them.   Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2010 8:36 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Rare? Not really. Perhaps units with the Beeman name on them are "rarer". You can see what the market will give you- but I believe somewhere around $100.00 for one in very good condition is fairly typical. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
