Llama Revolver Help Needed.

[cbecker33]

So I acquired a Llama pistol the other day. It is marked "38 Special CTG" on the left side of the barrel and has a smattering of Spanish on the right. It is identical to the pistol pictured here, except for a "Stoeger Arms Corporation" import stamp just forward of the trigger Guard on the right hand side.

On the left hand side there is also a stamp on the frame with two symbols I can not identify with the markings "N*1" just forward of the cylinder. The serial number is S7314XX with "Made in Spain" stamped immediately after it.

Can anyone tell me more about this revolver? It is currently not working (cannot fully cock the hammer/cycle the cylinder) and I know I'm going to need a few replacement parts to get it running, what is the best source? Additionally, I would like to change out the grips, will a certain model of S&W grips work (preferably rubber)?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Upon further research, it appears to be a S&W model 14 clone. After taking it apart I realized that I am missing the "hand spring" (part 5118?) and the top screw that just secures the corner of the plate in a 5 screw gun. Since Llama no longer exists I'll need to get a little more creative.

Is the Llama a "good enough" clone that I can order S&W parts? I'd really like a better set of grips, would those designed for a K frame "square butt" work?
