RWS Model 6

[guntech]

A real beaut... hasn't been used much. 7 inch barrel - velocity tests about 450 f/s with a light pellet. I don't know it's history. I got it from an estate. Serial number 0309###x. They must have made a lot of guns.

Any idea of age? Value?

It looks like the target version of the Diana Model 6. Here is some info https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2018/09/hy-score-816diana-model-6m-pistol-part-1/ .

I saw that in an earlier search.. I now have seen completed auctions and sales from $160 to $395 US.

Well isn't that neat! A lot of engineering went into that...

I have a RWS 5G

That looks like it's a RWS Diana Model 6G (or perhaps 6GS), which has the Giss recoilless system that uses two opposing pistons. The 6GS was discontinued in 1995, the 6G by 2000. The values listed in the Blue Book of Airguns, Tenth Edition range from under $100 to over $300, based on condition.

Thanks for that... condition is excellent. Bluing perfect, A few very small marks on the wood. I would rate it 98%.
