This is an exceptionally rare Diana Model 27 Cutaway Air Rifle in .177 caliber, produced by Dianawerk in Rastatt, Germany. The absence of a serial number is consistent with factory cutaway models, which were created for educational and promotional purposes to showcase the internal mechanics of the spring-piston action. The Model 27, manufactured from 1953 to 1987, is a beloved classic air rifle known for its lightweight design, smooth cocking, and accuracy, often rebranded by companies like Hy-Score and Winchester. This particular cutaway model, likely from the 1950s–1960s, features strategic sections removed from the stock and metalwork to reveal the piston, spring, and breech mechanisms, making it a unique piece for collectors and airgun enthusiasts. Its historical significance is enhanced by its provenance from the R.D. Beeman Private Collection, as indicated by the brass collector’s tag. Robert D. Beeman, a prominent airgun collector and founder of Beeman Precision Airguns, played a key role in popularizing high-quality air rifles in the U.S., and items from his collection are highly sought after.

This cutaway is in very good condition, retaining its original finish with minor handling marks typical of a display piece. The 17.25" barrel and beech wood stock, with cutaway sections, are well-preserved, and the rifle remains mechanically intact for demonstration purposes, though not intended for firing. The brass tag from the Beeman collection adds significant collectible value, tying it to a pivotal figure in airgun history. All markings, including the likely “DIANA” stamp, are clear and legible.
