It is a Henri Pieper Modified Diana 'knockoff' intended for the English speaking market, made 1910 to 1921 (there is no lettre annale)
The barrels are Faux Damascus décalcomanie over fluid steel. Pieper mostly used Cockerill steel. That suggests it was pre-WWI.
It doesn't carry Smokeless Powder proof but that is not uncommon on export guns as there was an additional expense for Smokeless proof.
