Astra came into the picture later I believe, with the colt junior.  I think this 1908 predates the astra involvement.  Right?

Yes.  as indicated the Vest Pocket Model came out in 1908. The Colt Junior aka Astra Cub didn't come around until the 1960s. It also has an external hammer making them easy to tell apart. 

OP has a nice gun there. Somebody should buy it.

I agree, I like the junior and the 1908.
