Description
This is a single Diana Panther 34 T05 Professional break-barrel air rifle chambered in .177 caliber (4.5mm). The rifle features a break-barrel spring-piston action with metal components finished in a durable matte black. It is mounted in a black synthetic sporter-style stock that includes molded checkering on the pistol grip and forend for a secure hold. The barrel is fitted with a large muzzle weight to improve balance and dampen vibration. The receiver is equipped with a scope rail adapter mounted to the compression tube, and the rifle is currently presented without iron sights. Markings on the top of the compression tube include the manufacturer name DIANA, the model Panther 34, and the T 05 trigger designation, accompanied by a circular RWS logo and a graphic of the goddess Diana. The word PROFESSIONAL is stamped vertically along the tube. Additional markings include MADE IN GERMANY on the side of the tube, CAL 4,5 / .177 on the barrel block, and the serial number 01366301 on the barrel tube. The stock terminates in a textured black rubber recoil pad.
Condition report:
The rifle is in fair to good overall condition. The matte black finish on the metal components is largely intact, with minor surface wear and small nicks consistent with use. The synthetic stock displays significant white scuffing and surface wear on both the buttstock and the forend. The bore is not visible for inspection. The break-barrel action appears to function correctly and locks up tight, though the firearm has not been test-fired with pellets.
