I just aquired this recently. Kind of a sleeper that alot of people aren't aware of.
A Llama Model I in 7.65 mm contracted by Genchow and stamped "Geco". It is believed that they ordered 1000 of these for sale to political organizations and Military officers. It was also thought that the serial range on these was 60,000 to 75,000. This one changes that thought. Serial number 76260.
Very neat little pistols, very similar in looks and function to a 1911 .45.
Marked with 1944 production code.
Shown here with unmarked commercial holster. The two smudges on the slide are rough spots that look very much like they were left by bloody fingerprints, but there again. The old blood pitting sales pitch comes into play. Who knows...
