Spanish Gabilondo Y Cia "Llama Extra" Model IV
Semi-Auto Pistol
Caliber: 9 x 23mm Largo (Bergmann Bayard)
Price: $950

DESCRIPTION: Very impressive
large frame Spanish semi-automatic pistol manufactured by GABILONDO
Y CIA, ELGOIBAR (ESPANA) in 1940, and accordingly
marked on the left side of the slide and frame. The caliber is
stamped just below the maker's name, "CAL 9M/M 38 "LLAMA"".
Model IV was introduced in 1931, and it was actually the first
of Llama series. The right side of the slide displays model name,
""LLAMA" EXTRA" (this may indicate
that the pistol was exported either to Mexico, or to some other
Latin American country). The locked-breech design with grip safety
copies all the best features of Colt 1911. The firing "tolerant
chamber" allowed the gun to fire not only the standard 9mm
Largo cartridge, but also .38 Super, 9mm Luger and 9mm Steyr
as well, at least that is what Gabilondo has advertised (in
my opinion, it is not safe to fire the pistol with other than
9 mm Largo ammo!). The "tolerant chamber" was designed
to compete with Astra 400 pistol. Nice hardwood grips with diamond
checkering. Very high quality of machining and metal finish.
CONDITION: Low excellent. 94% of crisp, original blue
on the metal. The metal finish shows just minor handling marks
and light scratches on the slide. Excellent bore with strong
and shiny rifling. Strong action. Mechanically, the pistol
is in perfect condition. All the markings and numbers are clearly
visible on the metal. All the internal parts of the pistol
are in excellent condition, with no visible wear. Couple of handling
marks on the grips. No import markings. Early Llama pistol
in very collectible condition. Serial# 459XX. (Ref.
"Spanish Handguns" by Gene Gangarosa Jr., p.65). |
