Spanish manufactured by Astra Unceta y Cía. for Colt, this import-era Colt Junior corresponds directly to the Astra Model 2000 "Cub." The frame marking "MADE IN SPAIN FOR COLT'S" and the slide legend "JUNIOR COLT CAL. .25" distinguish this variant, with the serial number applied to both the frame and the slide.
It is a pre‑ban example from the 1958–1968 era, built before the 1968 GCA small‑pistol import restrictions. The pistol maintains a micro profile with an approximate overall length of 4.06 in., a height of 3.25 in., and a weight of about 11 oz. The barrel measures 2.25 in.
Mechanically, it is a single‑action, straight‑blowback design with a steel frame and receiver. Controls include a heel‑type magazine release, a manual thumb safety, and a magazine safety. The safety lever can hold the slide open, and the quarter‑turn barrel takedown streamlines disassembly.
Fixed sights consist of an integral front blade and an integral rear notch, and the slide features rear vertical serrations. The black checkered synthetic grips are set with Rampant Colt medallions, underscoring the factory-branded presentation.
The single‑column magazine provides a 6+1 capacity in .25 ACP (6.35mm). The included magazine is a steel single‑stack with witness holes and a flush floorplate, configured for the Colt Junior/Astra Cub pattern.
