Service and spares for Diana Air Rifle

[Adoons]

Hoezit pellet gunners

I have a Diana model 34 that I bought new when stil in primary school, shot tens of thousands of Marksmen round nose pellets with it and now it needs a good "overlooking and service." Piston spring is broken and one of the trigger guard screws is "stripped" in the wood. I am a good DIY guy, but don't want to do something wrong to this "GEM." Where can I get spares for it (piston springs, rubber seals etc.)? To whom can I take it(Pretoria area) to "gunsmith" it for me?

Why do I need it fixed? Little Adoons is getting bigger by the day and the slingshot is getting boring. I beleive a Diana can take a few more thousand shots to thril little Adoons.

Happy Hunting - THE SEASON IS OPEN, BUT THE BUSH IS NOT!!!

Help...

In the same situation. I Inherited/was given an old Diana from an old lady way back when. Its been lying in my dad's safe for the last couple of decades. The chrome has started pitting but the spring is also wearing thin. Any Idea where I can send her for a bit of nip and tuck.

I also have no idea of the model or actual age. Google-Fu has me thinking its either a Model 1 or a model 15. (no ID on the rifle besides the Diana)

Comments and help on the ID and possible restoration will be appreciated.
