    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    As far as I know: dates from 1933 - 1945 with maybe 50,000 being made each year. classed as a 'target pistol'... made by Mayer & Grammelspacher of Rastatt, Germany. DRP equates to 'Deutches Reichs Patent. Most likely rifled barrel but some smoothbores were made. Does not appear to be particularly valuable (sorry). May well have a 'D' mark on the cylinder rather than the 'Diana' full name. Very similar to the Slavia ZVP pistol.
    Cheers, Phil
