What’s Included
- Llama Martial .38 Special revolver (4-inch barrel)
Manufactured in Vitoria (España) by Gabilondo y Cia, this Martial carries distinct factory markings, including the barrel legend "LLAMA .38 SPECIAL CTG." and the manufacturer rollmark "GABILONDO Y CIA VITORIA (ESPAÑA)." The butt is marked "Made in Spain," and Spanish proof/inspection marks are present. Stoeger Industries import markings (South Hackensack, N.J.) further document its U.S. entry.
The 4-inch steel barrel is complemented by a ventilated top rib with rectangular ports and an ejector rod shroud for a clean, purposeful profile. Sight regulation is handled by a ramped front sight and a micrometer-style, fully adjustable rear sight, giving precise control over windage and elevation.
This double-action/single-action revolver uses a six-shot fluted cylinder and an S&W-style forward-push cylinder latch. The action is steel-on-steel throughout, with the frame, cylinder, and barrel finished in polished blue for a uniform appearance.
Checkered walnut service grips with inset Llama medallions provide a traditional hold on the full-size steel frame. Overall, this Spanish-made example combines clear import provenance, identifiable factory markings, and a classic feature set centered on DA/SA operation and adjustable sights.
