Astra Firecat .25 - The Firearms Forum

LTB · 11-11-2006, 01:00 PM

I recently inherited an Astra Firecat .25 from my wife's grandfather. It was under a bed with two boxes of shells, 35 of them were shot, so I think that is all of the rounds that went through it. It is flawless and it is in a perfect box along with the original plastic bag. I have included pictures. Thanks for the help!

It's a concealed hammer version of the Astra "Cub", made concurrent with the Cub-pre 1968. Very nice little guns. In this condition it may bring as much as $250 to the right person.

the gun pictured, in the box, in NRA FINE condition might reach or exceed $225.00 at auction under the best of circumstances...

but $125-$175 IS MORE IN LINE / AVERAGE....

personal i love little spanish .25`s...

Hi southernshooter, yes scary as hell. And you're in the ballpark with Prescott.

As an Astra collector, I can tell you this boxed pistol would be worth $300 to me.
