We need some input re. the engraving of the outer skeletonized shell.

Thank you!

    This is the closest photo I took of the Fabrege Egg at the International Spy Museum's JB: Equistely Evil Exhibit.

    Another fine "capture" from a museum forbidding all photos. Well done, OO7. :p

    I believe the doubling die is the wrong one in this display.

    When I visited the International Spy Museum in June 2014, there didn't seem to be any restrictions on photos. I shoot with a large Canon 60D/200mm lens. I didn't see any signage, nor did any museum staff direct me to cease taking photos. So I took a lot of photos!
    At the Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond Style Exhibit. There were warning signs and plenty of security staff around making sure no one took any photos. Which is too bad. They had some great displays. One of my favourites was the Jill Masterson life-size model from Goldfinger. The detail on the body sculpt was very well done. I love the book the Barbican put out regarding this event. But I wish there was another book specifically on the items they had on display. I would love to have a copy of Auric Goldfinger's jacket that was on display.

    There are no restrictions on photos in the DC exhibit; in fact, a staff member held attendees back for me to get one particular shot.

    Doubt this is of any use as it's not as sharp SidneyFox's but here ya go:

    Guys! I just put my hands on a nice replica of Octopussy Fabergé egg, last night.Cool! and affordable! :D
  • sidneyfoxsidneyfox Posts: 13MI6 Agent
    I have a copy of one of those replica Fabrege Eggs from Octopussy. It doesn't really compare to the one I photographed at the International Spy Museum. It's a nice piece but lacking in certain detail. Do you still want a photo of this version?
  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,618MI6 Agent
    Thank you guys!

    Please keep the pics coming.
    I have the cheap replica myself - I don't need pics from this.

    I already saw the picture that we have on site and I am thinking of bring the egg and ask my to jeweler make artistic change on the stand ( for sure) and will see. Because make change around my place is no big deal.

    Welcome, Sir Derek:

    Is there a stand shown in the final film or is the egg always loose?

    In the film, the stand is only ever see on the cover of the Sotheby's catalog.
