Offered here is a wonderful example of Spanish firearms art. This Llama IIIA features near full coverage damascene inlays. The left side of the slide features geometric and floral designs surrounding a central panel of a pheasant in a wooded scene and "LLAMA-CAL-380" near the rear sight with engraved accents. The slide features a matching motif with a central fox scene and engraved accents. The frame, safety, grip safety, and slide release are all damascened to match the slide with a songbird scene on the underside of the frame ahead of the triggerguard and a crane scene on the frontstrap. Each of the triggerguard cutouts have been engraved with a light floral design. The right side of the frame is marked on the right side with the importer marking. Even the magazine baseplate on this pistol features a beautifully executed damascened floral motif. The frame is fitted with a set of pearlite grips with damascened "LLAMA" medallions. Includes an extra magazine with matching damascened baseplate

Exceptionally fine overall, retaining 95% plus original blue finish, crisp engraving, and bright gold Damascend inlays. The grips are very fine with a few hairline stress lines coming off the central medallions and screw holes. Mechanically excellent. Damascened pistols are highly sought after by collectors, and this exceptional example would fit perfectly in any European arms collection!
