Thank you for the comments @Grindelwald. The launch was very successful and a lot of fans travelled from all over Europe to see the unique platform we have now made available to Bond fans around the world.
As a side note, I am not new to the Bond scene, I have been working alongside noted historian Steve Oxenrider for the last 15 years and the launch of the Bond Archives is partly to continue his long 007 legacy as he is sadly terminally ill. Our other aim is publishing material and information that has never been seen before by fans.
Together we have been responsible for finding and interviewing some of the rarest names in the Bond world like Lola Larson, Kubi Chaza, Yee-Wah Yang, Edward ChooKang, Dolores Keator, the ice racing drivers and stunt skiers in OHMSS and many many more, so if you are a big fan of the films and you collect autographs, then the Bond Archives is the perfect place for you to learn names you probably never knew about 😊
Well done for keeping the forum updated with forgeries on the market, I have personally been involved in a number of major investigations to reduce the amount of counterfeit items over the years, as well as advising various auctions houses. We hope The Bond Archives will educate people more about what is authentic and what are forgeries, and we also offer expert authentications to members.
The Bond Archives have recently conducted exclusive private signings with two rare James Bond names:
VICKI SCOTT - "Moonraker" opening titles trampoline silhouette. This is her first ever signing and we have a variety of 8x10 shots available.
CHARLES EDGHILL - "Dr. No" 2nd Blind Beggar Assassin. This will likely be Charles' last ever signing and we have a variety of rare 8x10 shots available.
We have a limited number of items from both of these signings. We ship internationally.
Please view our online shop and if you are a collector looking for a specific autograph or you need any assistance with authentications, we provide one of highest standards of expertise in the 007 collecting community.
We also have over 2,000 autographs from the Steve Oxenrider (Co-founder of The Bond Archives) collection for sale. We have approximately 100 listed on the shop currently. If you are looking for a specific James Bond related autograph, please do get in touch with us and we can let you know what is available, from actors, stuntmen and all types of crew members.
If possible, I would appreciate expertise comments on this:
Every other week, on this platform, Catawiki, many, many signatures of deceased Bond stars are published and sold by the same seller.
I very much wonder if all of these can really be genuine. I simply don’t understand how so many Roger Moore’s, Bond girls’ or Sean Connery’s signatures are still available to this seller.
Unfortunately it seems that this seller is reselling items from B'bc (Bondcollectibles in Germany).
They are a known counterfeiting outlet and have flooded the market with thousands of forgeries over the past decade. Some are excellent counterfeits, others are very poor.
As a general rule of thumb, any $0.99 sale starts on eBay by Bondcollectibles are highly likely forgeries, while the high starting bid items are usually genuine.
The vast majority of autographs from this seller would not pass our authentication process, so we would recommend caution!

Keep up the great work 👍️
Moore fake imo
What does CBL , Heroes & Legends and POTP have in common ?
All 3 accused selling fakes , all 3 have been at Hollywood Show cons.....I wouldnt touch Global certed stuff either , lots&lots are fakes
It really isnt difficult to connect the dots here & POTP now has 007 on auction from a certain german dealer
Lazenby retires from cons
Ive yet to see a real Shaw Jaws sgd photo in 25 yrs.....also Global is dubious authenticator. Afaik , Shaw didnt use sharpie when signing fanmail.
funny , ive seen Nicholsons with "Regards" added like that.....same forger doing them?
lobby dated 1978 but re-issue was 5/79 , at best printed early '79 & RS died 8/78 !
If anyone here would like to purchase an authentic George Lazenby autograph, www.bondstars.com has some for sale.
