USED Colt Junior .22 Short Pocket Pistol – 1968 Production

The Colt Junior is a compact semi-automatic pocket pistol, with this example chambered in .22 Short. Manufactured in 1968, this vintage Colt represents the small European-made pocket pistols marketed by Colt during the mid-20th century. The frame is marked “Made in Spain for Colt's,” while the opposite side carries the Colt Hartford markings.

This example features a blued finish, checkered wood grips with Colt medallions, fixed sights, heel-style magazine release, and a compact single-action design. Serial number 59859CC corresponds with 1968 production information shown in the provided Colt serial-number lookup.

The pistol remains an attractive vintage example but does exhibit age-related wear. The photographs show thinning and handling wear to the blued finish along with areas of oxidation/corrosion, particularly on exposed internal and control surfaces. The wood grips remain attractive and give this little Colt much of its classic appearance. It would make an interesting addition to a collection of vintage Colt pocket pistols.
