er... no....but this was my first airgun - like a Gat push in /pop out barrel? - you have to aim about 20 inches below the intended target - I put thousands of pellets through mine - and even got to the point where I could reasonably consistently hit a tin can at 15 yards.......lost mine somewhere between being 12 to 30+ years old!!
Can you tell me if there are any markings on it?
Where was it made? should either be Germany or Great Britain.
Is it tin plate?
Depending on which one you have, it is worth between £10 and £95, with a little more info we can tie it down to a date and value.

Bob,the only markings on it i can see are "DIANA MOD.2 made in great britain" and it has a pic of a woman throwing away a bow and holding a rifle aloft stamped/engraved above the writing.
The grips are black plastic and the body appears to be blued steel not tin plate.
From what you describe, I would say you have a Diana Model 2 made by "diana", Millard Bros, Motherwell Scotland.
These were made from 1963 and are valued at somewhere between £20 and £50 depending on condition, original box etc.
hope this helps.

Bob

Glad to be of service
