I recently saw the below photo of Mollaka's props. It's crazy to me that this much effort went into this! Do we know if Carlos had something similar made? I would love to see more props from Casino Royale

And from Quantum too. Nothing from CR though.
Bond had several different credit cards and ID cards for CR. Mostly VISA but some from Bahamian and Offshore banks.
Cool! I'd love to see the Carlos stuff? Do you have it?
Also, I'd love to see the Mr White stuff. Perhaps it would have some clues on what his real name is. Unless it is 'White', but I thought it may have been 'Swann' (since they are white).
Were there any props about Madeleine and her background? I know there is that scene in L'Americain.
Oh, I'd never connected that before!
Much of Spectre is a game of wits,
exemplified by Bond’s confrontation with
the enigmatic Mr. White, an assassin he’s
chased through three films. White is now
an underground hermit who occupies his
bunker time with Solitaire Chess Puzzles. His
chessboard bears close examination:
1. The game shown is a reenactment of
Louis Paulsen vs. Henry Edward Bird, at
the Viennese Chess Conference of 1873.
Mr. White, in Austria, is playing through
an Austrian chess match. He is exploring
alternate moves, however, as the white
rook and white king are both askew from
their squares from the original match.
2. Mr. White’s cover name is “The Pale
King”. The pale (white) king has been
dislodged from its square.
3. The white rook, also dislodged,
represents Mr. White’s estranged
daughter, Dr. Madeleine Swann. Bond’s
archenemy Ernst Blofeld knew Swann
as a child. She will become pivotal in
helping Bond undo Blofeld’s plot and
also figures strongly in the plot of the
upcoming No Time To Die.
