Denny,

Joe is in the ball park for this gun. All Diana's are not equal. Some, like yours are a field grade. There are some that are highly engraved in either a German or English styles. Also there are few out there that have very special damascus tubes.

This was a major gun for Pieper. He exported it to many countries. Later, after his death, some real clunkers were produced for a time. Eventually that ended as the management of the company changed.
