Had a 380 that looked like a scaled down 1911

Here's a couple of photos you may not yet have run across:

Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: Llama .380
Image Info: Scanned photo of my 1960s-era Llama Especial .380ACP, an almost perfect clone of the 1911, save the slide rib, not found on all models, and the screwed-on plunger tub, versus most 1911 pistol's staked-on tubes. The Especial is blued steel with walnut stock panels, and is a locked breech pistol.

Image Info: Mini-1911? Yes. My Llama Especial .380, made in 1965, is virtually identical to the Colt Government Model shown here next to it with both disassembled.
