Okay. I'm going to try to keep this simple because there are volumes written about Diana. I'll start with RWS, they are a division of RUAG AmmoTec GmbH of Germany.

Now for Diana: Diana's real name is Dianawerk GmbH & CO. KG, Mayer & Grammelspacher. The name Diana appears on their rifles and has become synonymous with their guns. Diana has been making air gun since before WWII. During WWII the Nazi's forced Diana to produce Mauser's for the Germans. After the war everything was sold off or destroyed. Milbro of England bought the major machinery and made Milbro air rifles in Scotland some were called Diana. When Diana finally got started up again They started to make rifles for other manufactures. This is where you see RWS and Diana crossovers. Diana also made rifles for Beeman and Winchester. It's not uncommon for air gun manufactures to make models for other companies. The Daisy model 130 is also known as the EL GAMO.
