Ever hate seeing.......
Congratulations! You have won .....
I put in these low bids and half of me says "no more, hope someone outbids me" and the other half says "what a deal if I win".
I love my Llama's, and no one noticed in this auction that this one was one of the older, more desirable locked breech - not blowback, non vented rib style Llama 380's ( not a model IIIA - still trying to figure out if these are model III or VI ). I have another one that I bought from a member here a couple years ago, but this one was a steal, so I couldn't resist. Came with original mags, book, etc. too I know Llama is one of those love 'em or hate 'em guns, but I do love 'em!

Re: Ever hate seeing.......
Research I think paid off finally! I believe this is model III not IIIA or VI. I knew it definitely was not IIIA, but was going back and forth between III or VI - both made around the same time, stopping in 1954. The determining factor from what I have read is the VI has a slightly shorter barrel, holds one less round, and usually has police markings ( not always ). I compared my III with my IIIA and they have the same barrel and magazine capacity, thus my determination the one I have, and this one I just bought must be model III's.
I know, I know, no one cares"Tastefully Pimptastic"

Hey I care,
I have a IIIA and wouldn't mind having one of the older versions as well. Nice pick up. I like Spanish guns in general. I want to start collecting them but other guns seem to always get in the way . I have 1 Star and 1 Llama currently but that might have to change. I really should get some direction to my collecting.

Re: Ever hate seeing.......
Ok, been reading and I think I'm correcting myself again. The old one I have is definitely a III but this new one I now believe is a very early IIIA. The early IIIA's were still locked breech, and had a longer thumb safety - the III had a shorter thumb safety. Eventually the IIIA changed over to blowback, vented rib, and plastic grips. So with this addition, I now believe I have the III, an early IIIA and an older IIIA - plus some 9's, 45's, 32 auto, 32 long, 357, etc, etc, done reading and looking stuff up for the night
