Synthetic pearl grips with Llama logo Damascened. Even the bottom of the magazine baseplate is Damascened to match. Accompanied by a spare magazine Damascened en suite. Accompanied by a previous auction of this pistol and a Llama manual for IIIA pistols. CONDITION: Retains virtually all of the gold with some handling marks and lifting (mostly on left side of slide), and some darkness visible on right side of slide. Some high-edge wear to gold. Grips are excellent. Mechanically fine, bore has strong rifling and some mild frosting throughout.
