I was recently given a Colt Junior in 25acp.Smallist gun I have and it looks small enough to carry even in shorts.I broke it down to clean and oil,the firing pin design looks like it would contact the primer.Are these guns considered safe to carry chamber loaded,hammer down?CW

Here are the questions you need to answer to get some sort of reasonable estimate:
1. Is the Original Serial Numbered Box with the Gun?
2. Does it have the original wrapping paper?
3. Is the Original Warranty Card with it?
4. Is the Original Instruction Manual with it?
5. Does the gun show any signs of wear?
6. Where is that wear, if any?
7. How much wear is there?
8. What condition is the original blue finish?
9. Do the Walnut grips show wear and how much?
10. Any other question(s) a potential Collector Buyer might find to be of interest to him.
If this gun is "New-In-The-Box" with all Factory Paperwork, wrappings, etc., then you might get a very good price for it at Auction. Poor condition with the gun alone.....less money!
And Yes, they are a fun size......but that doesn't make them safe to carry with a cartridge in the chamber! Good Luck!

Shhhh...You'll scare the Fish!
If this Junior is Spanish-made (by Astra for Colt's in the 1950s and so marked), it will be worth a bit more than a post-GCA Junior having the "OD" serial number pre-fix.
