BMWTREKPSE

Here are 2 examples. Are there others?

Here is Connery's Bond writing a message in Goldfinger:

Quentin Quigley

There are a few...

FRWL: Bond's handwriting on Tania's photo - an eagle eye will spot the same words written on some paper to the left of the screen, on Moneypenny's desk - most likely a practice run before writing on the photo

GF: message '007 to CIA...'

MR: Bond writes with Holly's poison pen

AVTAK: Operation Main Strike message written in pencil on a notepad
AVTAK: (deleted scene in police cell) 'J. Bond' signature

LTK: 'James Bond' signature on his Univex ID card, which he shows to Bill, Krest's guard

GE: 'James Bond' signature on his paper driving licence
GE64: 'James Bond' signature on the classification screen, as President

SF/SP:'James Bond' signature on his MI6/SIS ID cards (different signatures on both)
SP: thank you card to Moneypenny 'Thank you J'
SP: Bond writes on Lucia's notepad
SP: 'James Bond' signature on his Hoffler Klinik evaluation file

Most Bond (and alias) passports - from TLD, maybe LTK, GE, CR, SF. Maybe others.

WOW! Nice list. Any photos of these? Here is FRWL

Thunderpussy

I think Terence Young did the writing for that ?

^Yeah, TP. Terence was Sean's hand double for that scene. Not sure why.

From the photos and other items of Sean Connery that he dedicated, he seems to have rather poor penmanship. That could be the reason.

There's also Bond's 'John Bryce' passport from SF, but I don't think I have an image of the genuine passport to show. Maybe someone else here can provide a pic of the actual prop?

Is that Bond's writing on the notepad in OP, about the Octopussy cult? I'm not sure if it's his or Sadruddin's?

SM, I thought about that one, but not having seen the film in a while, I seemed to remember it was written by someone other than Bond?

After watching that scene again, I'm now undecided on who wrote it - it's quite ambiguous. Either way, one of them is very talented at drawing octopussies!

In the novel "The Spy Who Loved Me" Bond writes a note to Vivienne at the end. She describes it as "the writing was very clear and even and he had used a real pen not a ballpoint." So it seems JB has some nice handwriting.
