Q's Tea Set in No Time To Die-Villeroy & Boch Royal

Jellyfish — Sun, 17 May 2026 12:46:22 +0000

In No Time To Die, Bond and Nomi board a Globemaster plane in order to infiltrate Safin's island in a high-tech glider. While sorting out their equipment, Q accidentally opens the wrong drawer, revealing he has a complete tea set for two people (we know he likes Earl Grey!).

The tea set looks to be from Villeroy & Boch, from their 'Royal' line:

The product pictures are from https://www.villeroy-boch.co.uk/b/royal/.

The sugar bowl in NTTD doesn't match the one currently on Villeroy & Boch's website, but I have found this picture which looks the same:

James Bond Annual 1966

Xando — Sat, 16 May 2026 13:08:14 +0000

Normally I am only collecting Roger Moore Items, but right after my love for Moore comes Connery and the Spy Craze of the 1960s. So having now read all Find your Fate AVTAK Tie Ins and all Victory Games James Bond RPG Modules, I decided I dive deep in the 1960s.

And I do not regret my eBay purchases of antique books. I also bought a PEZ Dispenser from the era that looks like a Walther PPK.

Though being born in 1973, I can now replicate a British teens from the 1960s spy craze experience and I love it very much.

The annual is filled with comics and short stories of generic Agents. I especially loved the Story Paperback with the title giving glass skeleton brilliant villains evil plan thwarted by some British agent. Another story features genetically modified locusts that are as big as ponies, that should destroy crops in farming areas.

My question concerning Bondians who grew up in the 1960s is to what your memories of said annual were?

The UNIVEX EU6538 WATCH

thespyboys11 — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 06:18:16 +0000

Hello everyone,

Recently, I received the UNIVEX UE6538 ‘Master Mariner’ pre-release to review. This is a homage to the one we see worn by our favorite gentleman spy offered by our very own 'DonaldGrant'

It was quite the privilege to see this ’In the flesh’ as I had only seen it in progress photos.

Not only is the watch representative of the one we see in the film but it is an amazing timepiece built like a tank!

The care in research and quality of assembly shows the thorough care put forth with every regard to detail.

I was thrilled at the presentation as well which was equally well-thought out and compliments the watch.

It comes well packaged with a branded slipcase over the box and is securely nestled on a pillowed brace, it comes with the traditional 18mm Bond RAF strap as well as a secondary 20mm Crocodile strap.

A point of interest here is that while the spacing between the lugs of the watch are 20mm, the RAF watchband is made to match the 18mm as seen in the film. It shows a true fan’s attention to detail.

Included is a metal cloisonne ‘Challenge coin’ with the company logo on the front and the phrase ‘Tempus Fugit’ on the rear which is a Latin phrase that translates to "time flies" in English. It serves as a reminder that time is fleeting and passes quickly, emphasizing the idea that time is a precious and limited resource that should be valued and used wisely.

A glossy 5x7 card with an interpreted image based on Ian Fleming’s description of the British spy with the license to kill is a nice touch and nicely compliments the package.

A property of receipt, as might possibly be issued by a Quartermaster, lists all the specifications of the watch (which I’ll list below) and properly rounds off the presentation.

A holographic sticker on the obverse of the watch featuring the company logo is a nice touch as well.

I could go and on but I’ll let the photo ‘speak for themselves’.

I’m just proud to have this exquisite timepiece added to my Bond collection.

The second round just went up for sale on November 30 and most sold within less than 48 hours, so if you are also interested in adding one to your collection, there are a few left.

Autograph Reference Section

Tilly Masterson 007 — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:34:03 +0000

Due to the amount of new collectors that appear to be getting ripped off by fakers who are selling them worthless tat, I have put together a quick reference part that will hopefully help them see what is real and what isn't.

This guide could prove very useful for new or inexperienced collectors so that they can be prevented from being 'stung' by the rising number of fakers out there.

So, I have included the Bond actors' section, I will soon post up a Bond villains and Bond girls section, demonstrating again what a real and fake look like.

Here are a few examples of what a genuine and what a fake autograph of each of the Bond actors look like:

Hope this helps!

Casino Royale Steak Knife Identified-Robert Welch Trattoria

Jellyfish — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:10:32 +0000

In the Casino Royale poker game, Bond loses everything after he is fooled by Le Chiffre. Shortly after, he has the 'do I look like I give a damn' moment when ordering a martini. He sees Le Chiffre in the casino, picks up a steak knife from a table and goes after him, before Felix Leiter introduces himself for the first time. The steak knife is made by a company called Robert Welch, and comes from their Trattoria line. I saw it online after I saw it in the film, and thought it looked similar. I sent the screenshots below to the company and one of their designers has confirmed it comes from them.

Felix grabs Bond by the wrist and offers to pay for his chips to get back in the game.

Here is the knife from Robert Welch:

They are available on their website individually or in a box of six.

£15,000 Cash Reward Offered For The Recovery Of Stolen James Bond Guns

ppw3o6r — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 07:57:37 +0000

Hi guys, as the BBC's Crime Watch failed to mention this little detail the following has just been posted on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/john.reynolds.338211/posts/10216453388280072

£10,000 Cash Reward offered for the recovery of stolen James Bond guns ....hand me the guns I hand you the cash!

It is said that crime does not pay however it has now been 6 months since the guns were stolen during a break in on 23rd March 2020. The value of these iconic weapons is not as high as the media would have you believe because the £100,000 quoted is their estimated auction value. Their actual cost price was £25,000 for Roger Moore’s Smith & Wesson .44 magnum Model 29-2 revolver, SN: N60304, £6500 for Roger Moore’s Walther PPK, SN: 146872, £6000 for Halle Berry’s Beretta Cheetah (Lot # 269), SN: H02641Y, £10,800 for Halle Berry’s Beretta Tomcat (Lot # 273), SN: DAA264306, and £5040 for Rachael Grant’s Llama Especial (Lot # 267), SN: 271915, bringing a grand total of £53,340. A 20% cash recovery reward is being offered on their original cost price. These values can be checked against Christie’s "Guns of James Bond” auction results from December 5th 2006, indeed 3 of the guns still had their Christie’s auction tags attached. Their value or lack of on the secondary market is negligible. All 5 weapons are recorded on The Stolen Weapons database with both UK proof houses and all reputable UK deactivated weapons dealers, film industry armourers and the Bond production company. All 5 weapons come with extensive documentation from the armourers who originally supplied them along with UK deactivation certificates. Without this paper trail reselling them openly would be difficult to achieve a sizable windfall. Because they were ultimately being gifted to them as “a living will” I had requested that The Royal Armouries offer a reward to recover the weapons but as a publicly funded establishment they declined.

Without the movie connection a deactivated 6.5” barrel Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver is worth around £750, a deactivated Walther PPK is worth £350, a Beretta Cheetah around £500 and a Beretta Tomcat around £350 and these would come with deactivation certificates. The value of a deactivated Llama Especial is unknown. As some may have seen on BBC's Crime Watch? the frame only of the Spanish Llama Especial has been recovered by Police so the deactivated barrel and top slide are still out there and will still qualify for a reward upon their recovery.

8 months ago, the Police asked me if I was in a position to offer a reward? But after the spare car keys were stolen (the objective of the break in) and my shelling out £3700 to secure said car with new door and ignition locks, new coded keys and remote fobs plus £700 for damage to the rear door to the property (neither of which were covered by insurance) the proverbial pot was empty!

The Police campaign was to make these weapons too hot to handle therefore If while out walking the dog? You found them in a bag in a forest or in a bag in a river or a bag in a landfill site? I do not care. If you stole them from my property? I do not care (yeah right!). No questions will be asked. I just need to recover them and possibly restore them? so they can be delivered to The Royal Armouries in Leeds or a similar venue, where they should have been when the home invasion occurred. If they have been left open to the elements or left in a damp environment for 8 months? Then the chrome plating on the revolver may have started to lift and flake off like a rusty car bumper, the blued finish on the PPK may have started to look like brown sludge and the stainless steel/plated finish on the two Beretta pistols may have become stained/milky white in appearance? Up until the time of the theft they were only handled with curatorial white cloth gloves to protect their screen patina which I guess now is completely buggered so recovery is against the clock! If like the Llama they have been broken down for parts? Then those even rusty parts still have a high recovery value. Regrettably because they were waiting to effectively permanently go into a museum, they were not insured so they are still my property not an insurance company's hence I can guarantee no entrapment, “no questions asked”. This is not a victimless crime. Ten years of my life went down the crapper when they were stolen. Ten years of research to find them and write about them, ten years of my life to get the funds together to secure them and barely a year of my life to physically own them or at least be their temporary keeper. The Evening Standard quoted “the owner is devastated at the loss”….. He still is!!, however this is also a loss to the British Film Industry and technically a loss to the heritage of the Bond production company EON Productions Ltd.

To put a face on what otherwise appeared to be a victimless crime? The Police Media Unit asked me to speak to a number of chosen periodicals on the agreement an alias be used (author Mark Hazard, the author, researcher and photographer of The 007 Magazine Special “The Most Famous Gun in the World” with design by Robert Gritten, a ten year project to research, track down, catalogue and secure for posterity all the firearms used in over 50 years of James Bond movies) of which those I spoke to initially agreed to. Unfortunately, The British Broadcasting Corporation who I did not speak to utilised the basic no thrills Police media report, however they named me and with other periodicals publishing the road I live in this pretty much painted a target on my back forcing me to empty the house contents into hopefully safe storage with the deactivated guns going to a London based armoury. How the hell is this in the Public Interest? This is very dangerous and very careless reporting! I complained to said News broadcaster but they did not even bother acknowledging my communication which was sent on their own website. Unfortunately, the other periodicals then followed suit thinking this was okay? How to kick you firmly in the nads when you are already well and truly down!! …. And now 6 months later as the media circus kicks off yet again certain periodicals have again chosen to publish the road I live in. WHY FFS???

My home was targeted because of the car parked in the front drive. Because of a medical condition which makes it unlikely that I'll ever need it? that car was purchased from the proceeds of a cashed in personal pension plan after HMRC took their chunk for taking a pension in one hit. The weapons were bequeathed to The Royal Armouries because of that medical condition. If I’m talking to the gang who broke in? Then you will know how to contact me, on a one on one basis with your representative only. A photo of the guns/gun parts? against a current newspaper will get the ball rolling or you can hand them into your local Police station c/o D.I. Paul Ridley with your contact details or get a friend not connected to the crime to hand them in or contact BBC Crime Watch to claim the reward or of course you can hold onto them and await a potential knock on the door and receive a very different less profitable reward!

Two media inaccuracies which I would like to address are I do not have or have ever owned Oddjob’s bowler hat. It was sold through Christie’s in September 1998 as Lot # 235 for £62,000 and was purchased by EON Productions Ltd, the production company who make the James Bond movies. Apparently this information that I have one in my possession came from a source close to the investigation! I do have an off the shelf Jaxton & James Victorian top hat as used by Daniel Craig in SPECTRE costing £50. Big difference! Not very Harold Sakata, more like Harold Steptoe! A number of papers reported there being 60 guns in the property including those stolen where in fact there were 20 deactivated weapons including those stolen. The remaining being harmless solid rubber, resin and fibreglass stunt movie weapons used in fight sequences. The in depth details of what stunt weapons are were supplied to the media but I guess not as sensational as just saying "60 weapons!", which 6 months later they are still choosing not to correct!

Please feel free to share this post on Social Media where it may do the most good. Thank you.

Daniel Craig Print - Jeff Marshall ?

OPERATION_GRAND_SLAM — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:36:28 +0000

Hi guys, long time since I posted on here. I have this Daniel Craig framed Print that I'm looking to move on but have no idea what it would be worth. I think it is by a guy called Jeff Marshall. It has a signature on it as shown. I've done a bit of researching and I think it is Jeff Marshall but maybe someone can confirm?

It is only a print and not an original. It was produced for the Bond Collectors Weekend in Miami 2006. It's framed as shown and the full size from frame edge to edge is approx 530mm x 430mm.

Any ideas on what it would be worth and anyone interested in it? I'd put it for sale on here before looking at Ebay.

UK based and would probably only post it within the UK.

Thanks.

Prop replica - Admiral Farrel ID

TheAdmiral — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 16:36:24 +0000

Was curious if anyone had ever made a replica of Chuck’s ID? Have the opportunity to see Famke and think it’d be a fun one to get a signature on!

Which S&W pistol is closest to ASP custom?

Double-oh nine — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:55:48 +0000

I am refering, of course, to any 9mm pistol that the ASP may have inspired, if not indirectly. I have seen the stainless "Smith" model 669, but nothing as covert-worthy as the original black teflon ASP.
Also, has there ever been an ASP replica, pellet or airsoft version? Since joining here I've become very keen on 007 sidearms other than the PPK.

Jantzen Shorts

The Bond Vivant — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:47:40 +0000

Hi folks,

I received some Jantzen shorts similar to the Woman of Straw trunks Sean Connery was photographed wearing, which sparked the whole Thunderball shorts intrigue, and they look great, albeit with some white piping. And more recently I grabbed another pair of slightly bluer ones, but this time with the diving girl logo on them. Both have the buttoned pocket, but neither have the belt loops. Here are a few pics for you to look at, with the Orlebar Brown and Sunspel homages, too. Hope that you like:

Cheers, then,

Blair

Blofeld Ring replica

Does anybody own a Blofeld Ring replica from Spectre (the golden one) from FE? if so, what is your opinion on quality / screen accuracy?

Trying to understand how different it is (other than the obvious gold plating) from the Propshop silver version released a few years ago (now sold out) - interestingly it looks like the dimensions are slightly different..

Thanks!

Custom Corgi 1.50 scale American LaFrance San Francisco fire truck

0071991 — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:26:27 +0000

Here's my attempt at making the American LaFrance San Francisco fire truck from A View to A Kill using a Corgi Classics 1.50 scale Boston fire truck. I had the cab converted by a friend of mine and I also customised the trailer by adding the side ground ladder, wheel arch box and wheel arch cabinet, pike pole box and tiller cab access ladder. I also painted two 1.50 scale figures to resemble Roger Moore James Bond and Tanya Roberts Stacey Sutton.
