That is a very nice example. I too had a '68 9mmk model I bought from Earl without import marks. It came in before GCA68.
Bond has also used the war-time or pre-war pattern PPK. Thunderball comes to mind.
You only see that when it's dropped off the roof and it goes off. The only other time you see one of those is briefly in FYEO. And that's the only time you see Bond hold one on screen. There are several floating around in the States that Stembridge claims are used by Bond in LTK, but that is utterly untrue.
I've seen a LTK PPK among a display of film weapons at the NRA's museum in Virginia, do you know if that's authentic?
My own ppk, sadly now deactivated, as much as I love it I do wonder why I keep it sometimes?
I understand. I would never buy a firearm that I couldn't fire. I'd sooner look at photos than waste my money on something that sits on a shelf.
I have live firing weapons, including a P99 compact, and another ppk but being in the UK they have to live in a licenced armoury. the deac ppk was a gift that lives in its presentation box frame. I had a preference back in the bad days to carry a ppk as a personal protection weapon hence the gift.
It was either that.....or the priesthood

It's not. All the screen used PPK's in LTK are in the UK. Stembridge did supply a Zella PPK which 'might' have been used during the titles. Sadly there are a few going around the US that have been sold by Stembridge and auction houses as screen used by Dalton. Not true.

I've been all over my local shops and gunbroker, I think your collection has more than any of them! A PPK/S is definitely my next purchase, but having some trouble finding non S&W in decent shape. I may try Rock Island Auctions this time around
My own ppk, sadly now deactivated, as much as I love it I do wonder why I keep it sometimes?
Really? Well anytime you have had enough of it let me know been after one if these for years!
Passed up on one years ago when I was overseas and it was LF, always regretted it, wasn't to know how much I was to get into Bond years later!
Cheers
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!

Where did that 'Like' button get off to??

I do not. I've never visited.
Cheers. Missed a few from the pic as it's too much hassle to dig them out. PPK/L's. And there's this military PPK with NATO stock number.

Just send me any you've finished with
You'd better believe it
