I bought this about 20 years ago. I may have paid about Rs 5000 back then. It came with a peep sight that i never used. It is reasonably accurate for plinking but is shooting at about 350 fps now (probably needs some love and attention)
I have used it once in anger to get a rat hiding behind a cupboard in my kitchen.
Two photos - one of entire rifle and the other of the logo alone
Can anyone ID this rifle?

Thanks. I never knew. Is that the SDB logo then?
added later: After being told that it is "SDB" I can now read SDB in the logo

Re: Can anyone ID this rifle?
Rummaging through an old box yesterday I found this - a "GAT Umarex 4.5 mm" concentric piston spring air pistol (not break barrel) that I had bought for indoor shooting during bad weather in the UK many years ago. The pistol is cocked by pressing the muzzle inwards against a hard surface and this pushes out a breech pin that is unscrewed to insert a 0,177 pellet. The pin is screwed back on. The pistol comes with a safety catch. When fired the barrel that was pushed in shoots out. The pistol is smooth bore and extremely inaccurate. The muzzle has an adapter from which corks could be shot in the original. The sights cannot be adjusted in any way Looks like it is a collectors' item nowadays.
