    40 year old Llama 1911 clone

    My sister in law has a Llama .45 1911 clone that was given to by her dad. The gun is 40 years old. Today when I talked to her she asked if I were interested it buying it from her. She says it hasn't been shot in who knows how long. Probably 15 years or more. Off the top of my head the gun need to dismantled and gone over by a gunsmith just because it's 40 years old and she says it has some rust on it. Assuming the gun is in reasonable condition, What would be a fair price to offer her.

      That seems generous. Most Llama "1911's" are not direct clones and as a result replacement parts are not easy to find.

          I've got no trouble with giving money to family but I think the OP was asking about the actual reasonable value.

              That's the most generous value ever assigned to any Llama 1911 type.

              The ones I'me familar with are not even second tier-level firearms.

              As described, with rust, I'd say closer to $100.00
              The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

                "fair price" in my lexicon means fair market value. For family, there is no "fair price", only what you're willing/able to pay......

                  Llamas have soft steel and are basically worthless. I would pass and put the $350 towaerd a quality 1911.

                    Agreed. Llama IXA (1911 clone) are probably the most inexpensive and lowest quality 1911's I've ever owned. I purchased one out of curiosity over 20 years ago brand new for $180 and then sold it not long after. They are VERY rough and as others have already said, are not 100% compatible with 1911's as many parts will not interchange. In fair condition with rust, and even in this time of ridiculously inflated pricing, it's not worth more than $100-$150.

                      I say $200 or less depending on how much rust there really is on it.

                        I paid $180 for mine. It was a total waste of money.

                          If you pass and she is willing to sell this gun as a project and you are located in LA/OC/SB area let me know. I'm one of the few people I know who actually semi collects Spanish guns and I ocasionally like project guns.

                          Even if you don't want to sell feel free to post pics or ask questions and I will do my best to answer.

                              I guess I've been lucky, but I love my Llama in 38 super. No problems what so ever. I've owned a few 1911's of different brands and currently own a Colt and a Springfield, but for say $250 I would buy it just for something else to shoot.
