This is an early example of the Diana 5, from around 1960 or a little before, with the grip/frame unit made of wood. These early ones also had some rather nice touches to the action that later went away, note the cut-away areas at the front of the breech jaws, and the lovely tapered barrel. The amount of complex stamping on the woodwork is rather amazing to me.
The gun still shoots pretty strongly, and is quite accurate. I've always thought the nice trigger on these didn't really get enough credit!
An early post-war Diana 5

Another classic, also sold under the "Original" brand.
I have a 1977 model with the plastic grip. Not shot it yet, as it needs resealing.
Kind regards,
Phil
