Rare Diana but refinished over light pitting I would say? This is what turned into the Webley Mk.3 !
This one sold at a premium price on eGun - about £900 equivalent.
The pistol looks to be in excellent condition and they are pretty scarce in this condition. But the box has been repaired inside and out, quite amateurishly.

Edit: talking of premium prices, check out this lovely old 1930s Diana:

Like the Diana.
As Sgun says interesting history and rare.
But premium price on the pistol is being polite.
Yes, the close up pics show a less than smooth surface, so I would agree. Shame, as the stock looks superb. I've only once seen one of these scarce rifles in very good original condition (it's a slight later DRP example):
