Nice acquisition Hero.  Have fun shooting it.
The .25 I have is a Colt Jr. but it is about 50 years newer than yours so no "collector's value" to it.

Looks like the metal is a bit chewed on the left side of the slide at the muzzle, as if it was banging on stuff in someone's pocket.

Other than that, looks to be in nice shape. Bluing is thin, but overall, not bad.

I'd suggest having it Ceracoated in something like purple or hot pink.

Is that cerakote or just paint?
