Llama 1911 clone

Does anyone know how to tell the model # of a llama 1911 type pistol with a vent rib on top of the slide? Thanks

If there is not some marking on the slide, say Mark V, or something then I would think they have referred to it as their 1911 pistol.  I know these came in 45, 38 Super and 9mm but I don't know the official name of the models.  Possibly 1911 Crazy could help you out (if he sees this post) - he was recently working with one in 38 Super and he might know how to discern the model #s.  HTH.

I would do a search for "llama pistols"   Then go thru all the sights listed.  What i do sometimes is go to the gun for sale or gun auction sites and search for "llama pistols" also, i use these sites to see what some of the different pistols look like too.  You may find an exact model for sale as you have.  There are so many different models. I also find it hard at numrich gun parts too with these. These are harder too because some are refinished too and they seem to remove the markings so no one knows its a llama.  My llama extra in 9mm largo/38acp is like that on one side of the slide all the info is removed.  I've seen the 1911 clone llama but i never actually held it at my local gun shop.  My llama extra is a full size 1911 clone and heavy too.  Some of the other 1911 clones like the Star pistols are a tad smaller in size yet they used the 1911 design for it.

Thanks for the info. From what I have found so far on the internet it appears to be a model X1-A 9mm Parabellum made in 1980.
