Customer: I have a Colt semi automatic .25 cal. pistol, probably pre-war, with serial number OD15543. I am trying to find the full description (is it an ACP?) and date of manufacture as well as purchase a 6rd or 7rd magazine.

Thank you for using Just Answer and Pearl.com!

My name is XXXXX XXXXX I'll be glad to help you.

You have a Colt Automatic Caliber .25 (a reintroduced version of the earlier Junior Colt Pocket Model made for Colt by Astra from 1958-1968). It is chambered in .25 ACP, has a 2-1/4 inch barrel, checkered walnut grips.

Your gun was made in 1971 based on the serial number (pre-war models didn't have a "0d" prefix or any prefix at all).

That model was actually made by Firearms International for Colt from 1970 through 1973.

Here is a link to a 7rd magazine for that gun:

I hope this helps.
