This followed the demise of Astra and Star in about 1997. In 2005 Llama closed its doors for the last time due to lack of sales and a bankruptcy. I do it to show that there were major changes made to the guns every few years and there were even variations within those years. I want to inform you before you go any further that the designations of series and variation are my designations and not those of Llama. The years the series of IIIA's were made however is still in question. A large number of the guns were in my collection to assist in this endeavor and I think I now have it all as it should be. This research project has been both a rewarding and frustrating experience. RK Smith There is an enormous amount of incorrect information out there about the model numbers on the guns Llama made and I have done my best in identifying them to correct it. Llama means Flame in Spanish, but they used the animal as their logo as well.
