SOLD - Rare Llama Model IV Rig (88264 - 25929)

Description

6/20/23 - This is a rare Llama Model IV pistol rig from 1944. Production of this gun started in 1932 and was an exact copy of the Colt 1911 except it has no grip safety and has a barrel 5 1/2" long, with a 228mm overall length. This was the first of the Llama pistols made and for some reason was later given the designation of model IV. These were not produced for the American market and are not readily found in the USA. The pistol is all original with minimal bluing loss overall, mainly on the high edges from rubbing inside a holster. There is also a patch of wear and freckling on the rear left slide, and some patina on the grip straps. Terrific bore and excellent wood grips. Listing includes an original spare magazine, and also comes with a 1942 dated High Power holster. The holster is 'epf' maker marked with sharp waffenamt. It's in good condition with minor cracking on the mag pouch and a few scratches but no major defects.
