Colt Junior .25 semi auto
I have a Colt Junior .25 semi auto pistol, serial OD91xxx, NIB, originally purchased in 1973, never fired, Instruction Manual, and 100% condition. Nickel magazine stamped "Cal .15 Colt". Anyone suggest a reasonable value. Thanks.

They were actually made in Spain for Colt by the Astra Co. May WAG is that it would be in the $250-$350, if NIB. Best to hold on to it if you can, things are in the toilet now big time. Since it wasn't actually made by Colt, it's not likely to ever be a big buck collectors item.
MY BAD, MISREAD YOUR ORIGINAL POST. IF IT DATES TO 1973 IT WAS ASSEMBLED FROM MOSTLY SPANISH AND SOME U.S. MADE PARTS BY "FIREARMS INTERNATIONAL" WHO DID SUB CONTRACT WORK FOR COLT. MIGHT BE WORTH $50 TO $100 MORE THEN THE "MADE IN SPAIN" ASTRA.0 -
The pistol is not a Colt Junior, but rather a Colt Automatic .25. (The box will not identify the pistol as a "Junior.") While the Junior was indeed made in Spain, after the 1968 GCA, which forbid importation of "non-sporting" pistols, production was moved to Florida, where FI made them for Colt. They were discontinued in 1973.
The Spanish Juniors are worth more than the Automatic .25 pistols, but the complete package could sell for $250 to $350, depending on presentation and bidder competition.0
