This extremely early single digit serial number Junior Pocket Model was manufactured in Spain by Astra in 1957 ("C1" date code). The slide is numbered to the gun. Comes with a correct box hand numbered to gun and a boxed .22 Short conversion unit. Consignor notes state pistol was a gift from Interarms owner, Samuel Cummings, to Robert Petersen!

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue finish showing a patch of barely noticeable spotting on the back strap and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good with separated or repaired lid corners, non-factory label on the lid and minor wear. The conversion unit is excellent and its box is good. Provenance: Robert E.
