Topic: What do you consider to be the "Holy grail" of Bond memorabilia?

For me it would have to be the Aston Martin from Goldfinger. But of course those are hard to find nowadays, it ould make one hell of a collectors item for Bond fans though.

Re: What do you consider to be the "Holy grail" of Bond memorabilia?

depending on your budget - some can afford real cars, others like me can only afford toy cars  ajb007/smile

a real Aston Martin is definitely not on any of my list, the Corgi's at least are on my list

Re: What do you consider to be the "Holy grail" of Bond memorabilia?

Well I know that unlike some members here that can afford and have the contacts to be able to source and appropriate the real deal, screen seen props, I'm a little more realistic with my aspirations. I tend to acquire either commercial items (no clothing, although I do have a RN Commanders hat) that have been seen or used in the Bond films. I also enjoy recieving some of the wonderful creations that our diverse membership can and do produce (you all know who you are). I also manufacture some of my own reproductions. 

So that's the preamble, my grail items tend to change as I manage to procure the previous item. It may therefore surprise you to know then that my current grail item is the SA cremation urn from DAF and I have been looking for one for years, I've even been into the actual mortuary used as Slumber Inc in Henderson NV and they couldn't help, even though I know that the only scene filmed there was the building exterior, but I couldn't not ask.

Yes, it is a very large-sized urn and would be hundreds of dollars even on eBay. I brought a tour group inside Slumber on one of my events to meet with the mortuary director and the interior was used for filming. There is also a literal Garden of Remembrance outside!

I brought a fan group in April to sit at Mr. Fleming's writing desk, wade in Largo's shark pool and sip Vespers at the One & Only Ocean Club. Look for my next event soon!

A screen used Walther PPK with mock silencer or a Tuxedo worn by one of the actors that played Bond. Also I would not mind owning the Walther WA 2000 or the H&K UMP9 either.
