if they are shadows then they are very funky to appear in the same spot in a different camera angle! Also they appear to be only on this one side. (the side without the blank square on the cigarette case.) does anyone have personal photos of this to further prove or dis prove this?
I held the GG last December, that is proof enough for me
It seems that you have a unique one on one experience with the golden gun. I would love to see some photos of your claim if you have any. I myself am trying to write a book on the prop which accounts for all the research and questions. So i need to get my facts straight.
Just a little word sumner, what pete tells you is truth.
For bond firearms I ask donk, for golden gun stuff I ask pete. Each one knows their $hit and I wouldn't even need to ask for proof as I trust them both to the core.
Oh n get the book approved by eon won't ya? LAWSUIT! Lol

yes i don't doubt he is telling the truth i just need more than someones word. I mean this in no dis-respect but i can say or lay claim to anything and swear my life on it but it does not mean a thing if i don't have proof. also I'm not publishing my book just yet its in its beginning state and i fully intend on getting it approved by eon and perhaps a photo shoot to boot.

You are new to this forum, but most of us responding to you know that what Pete says is factual. Of course you can disregard it if you like, but don't expect us to buy your book if you do. I know you want to know how Pete and the others know what they know, but you won't get an answer. Suffice it to say, that Pete knows and the collective we know that he knows!

So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.

First someone wants to make firing and strippable GG, Then someone stalks Pete nearly every way he can, to get dimensions correct to his GG project.....and now this, well anyway gotta admire your passion on the GG, Mr. sumner
I doubt you get your book approved by EON Mr. sumner.....erm let's just say it's bit complicated
I was at Pete's in january and before that i've got long syllabus of the Golden Gun - No theories, But Simply Facts....
Knowing who to trust is Everything in this business.

Again i mean no dis-respect. All i ask is proof I'm not saying that I agree or disagree are I'm even dis regarding any info given. I respect all of your answers. and thank each of you. I'm just trying to find out if what i see and hear is true or if the theories I have are correct. I only have the movie and photos to go by i don't have the actual prop in my possession. If pete says that he has seen and held the gun then I believe him..... my reasoning is what will others think who don't know who pete is? I've been in the shadows of this forum for some time approximately a year or so. I have not registered till recently. so I am familiar with pete and a lot of you even if you never heard of me.
There's nothing like a healthy spot of debate especially on something like the Golden Gun which some are incredibly passionate about & like our new member I've studied GG footage until it hurts. How many Golden Guns were there? who knows but Mr Lamont has stated "X" in an interview for Factory Entertainment & Albert Luxford has stated "X" in his FACTUAL book "The Gimmick Man"which if you research such titbits as Diamond cutting on brass in the UK in 1973/74 you will find this kind of quality could only be found locally in Ireland. There is a third variant of the props origins & quantity which is inside info which cannot be raised here. Suffice to say Albert Luxford , John Stears, Derek Meddings & John Richardson were responsible for some of the greatest creations to ever appear on screen with the design talents of Ken Adam, Syd Cain & of course Mr Lamont.
Whoever created it be it Colibri, Mr Luxford or Mr Lamont?....thank christ they did.
Danjaq_Off eats, sleeps & breaths the Golden Gun & as the gent in question stated I was lucky enough to own original component parts at a time when the interest in the piece had peaked & there was only one individual on the planet worthy of being the next custodian in my opinion.
ok so lets review so i get the facts right, there were 3 golden guns used on set correct??? no more and no less?
one of them has been going on display and is part of the eon archive? which one of the props is on display, solid gimmick, firing?
those dots are shadows and can no way be holes or a different golden gun with holes?
i also read somewhere that EON still had all of the original golden gun props is this true?
the props have interchangeable barrels?
i posted what i think and some proof to support it. i now look for confirmation.
WOW Guys I'm touched, Thank you all, big dog Ed is the one with the most knowledge, he is the one that started me on the GG journey, so it is he that should have all of the stalkers
Sumner, good luck on your book, go get it sanctioned then I will help, no sanction no help
Hey everyone I know Sumner he is a extremely talented artist and he has recreated replicas for museums and I can say without a doubt crazy accurate in his work. He will even go as far as replicating the scratches that the originals have. he brings up intresting topics though. It will be interesting to see what the experts say. Mr Sumner basis his research on fact and that's admirable given the trouble he goes through to get it.

That's great to hear.
Call me super cynical (I am) but with your low post count do you have any proof of this?
I'm not really fussed if people think I'm telling the truth or not, but having known pete for a while now, doing business with him on several occasions, him helping out for no monetary gain plus getting me on the set if skyfall I believe the guy and trust him implicitly.
lets stick to the topic people, I'm planning to create an article in a book about the art of the props used in films, I'm starting with one of the most famous props, the golden gun because of the interest in it for others and myself. Im doing this because of my love of props but I need to get the facts straight. I don't get any money from doing this article so don't make the mistake that i get paid for doing this. I just need the facts and proof to support it. I don't know what proof I can send you guys other than what I already have on the table. If you doubt my claims I'm open ears i just want an explanation and why you think otherwise. If you want my reasoning ill try my best to explain.
In my art business you make a prototype or a draft before it can be approved by anyone. I'm doing the same here.
I think the main issue you'll get with obtain 'proof' of people's claims is that it's unlikely you'll get it.
The reason for this varies from person to person. But take this as an example;
I know pete and I know he's a genuine guy. How? Cos he's never messed me around (ok how do I prove that to you?) and he's done some pretty cool stuff for me, like get me on the set of skyfall. But how do I prove that? I have no pics, I wasn't allowed to take any anyways, and even if I did I wouldn't show you.
There's several people here in the same boat. Some know info that they've obtained from source that would prefer it to remain confidential. Others know info that they prefer to keep to themselves because they don't want it used for commercial gain. Others know stuff that they've found out the hard way and prefer to keep it to themselves as it took them ages to find out stuff and they don't want to just hand it over for nothing.
So please, don't be offended or annoyed, but when you ask for proof of stuff, you might not always get it.
