The gunsmith Horst Blaser made his vision reality through the development of a light and - above all - safe over & under rifle/shotgun combination. Thus, the Blaser "Diplomat" was born.  Since his own capacities were not sufficient, many of the main components were manufactured in Ferlach/Austria, giving the Diplomat the "Ferlach Note", such as the barrels being completely soldered together up to the monoblock.
New single lock, with a manual cocking lever, gave the rifle the maximum safety typical of Blaser rifles. A classic claw mount was also used. The Diplomat was sold with great success through the rising hunting goods supplier Frankonia.
