USED Llama Model III-A Deluxe .380 ACP Engraved Mini 1911 – Nickel Finish – Pearl-Style Grips

This Llama Model III-A Deluxe is a distinctive Spanish-made compact semi-automatic chambered in .380 ACP. Built as a scaled-down interpretation of the classic 1911 pattern, the III-A combines familiar single-action styling with a compact frame, thumb safety, grip safety, exposed hammer, and traditional fixed sights. The III-A was one of Llama's longest-running compact designs, and engraved luxury-finish versions were offered during its production.

What separates this example from the far more common blued III-A is its extensive scroll engraving, bright nickel/chrome-style finish, and pearl-style Llama medallion grips. The engraving covers the slide, frame, trigger guard area, grip safety, and other exterior surfaces, giving the pistol an ornate presentation-grade appearance. The right side is marked “LLAMA .380,” while the frame carries the Stoeger Arms, S. Hackensack, N.J. importer marking. Serial number is 573683.

Based on the photographs, this example is in good to very good used cosmetic condition for its age. The bright finish remains attractive overall, with scattered handling scratches, minor finish wear, and some darkening or residue visible in recessed areas of the engraving. The pearl-style grips show normal age toning and handling wear. Because the exact production date and mechanical condition have not been verified, those should be confirmed before publishing any additional collector or C&R claims.
