Diana model 2 nickel

[Evostu]

Anyone got one or know much about them?
I see one come up for sale at what seemed a cheap price so bought it for my gat collection but can't find much info about them,don't expect it to be accurate in the slightest 🤣 anyone know a rough year it would be,pic below

Is it a Milbro (i.e. British) Diana Model 2 or an MGR (i.e. German) Diana Model 2?

If the former, then it will date to 1945-1965, and if you are lucky there could be a date stamp impressed on the heel of the grip.
If the latter then it will date to 1938-1940. These are much rarer.

The fact that it is nickelled adds to the rarity, whichever model you have.

(More detailed information can be found in the Encyclopedia of Spring Air Pistols, Second edn.)

Cheers,
John
