MPP (Most Priced Possession)

007DB5

Very simple post. What is the most priced possession you have in your collection?? Please feel free to describe it, post some pictures, tell us why is your most priced possession, etc.

I presume you mean most prized possession... unless you mean 'which has the highest value'?

I would have to say it has to be my early Bond posters, they arent UK or US posters, they are South African duotone prints and im proud of them. I have never seen any them before

DOUBLE-00

Apart from my extensive Bond autograph collection, because im a massive T.S.W.L.M fan, it has to be my complete mint uk FOH stills from the film and also the complete publicity stills collection from the same film.

The rare vintage Waterman fountain pen (made in France). This pen served as the basis for the design of Scaramange's infamous golden gun. The pen became the barrel component for the gun.

Perhaps the Old Air Pistol that Connery used in the famous picture. (well, not the actual one used, but the exact kind)
I found it at a yard sale! What my luck! I don't think it works anymore, but still, it is pretty kewl!

The Walther LP 53

My Walther PPK, as pictured to the left of this post!

Bond-wise, my CR watches I guess.

My most prized Bond possessions would have to be my Omega Seamaster and my Omega Planet Ocean... just got them a few days ago and I can't stop looking at them... I only hope my wallet will one day forgive me for getting those !

037 Scaramanga

My most prized possessions are my S.D Studios Attache case & my S.D Studios second gen Golden Gun duel set, my pride & joy after the wife & kids of course

I would say my Aston Martin Vanquish, but sadly thats only when I am dreaming.

It would be either of 2 movie props from my collection:
1. A back-up Portuguese Calendar Page from the set of OHMSS. The story goes if the knife-thrower missed his mark (the 14th Septemer) then this back-up page was to be used for the next take.
2. A Salmon beret used by one of Stromberg's soldiers in TSWLM.

The Bond Experience

Bond-wise I would say my TWINE SPFX watch or my replica Goldfinger suit (it just screams Connery).

My brosnan omega seamaster will always have a fond place in my heart as that was my first bond item but right now I love my CR Armani Leather jacket.

[EDIT: The jacket is not screen used. ]

saint-antoine

How about posting some pictures of that jacket... to see the details on it... how much did you pay for it ? Where can it be bought ?

Here is a not so great photo I took with my phone, I will try to replace it with a better picture later:



I got it from an Armani Outlet store but I beleive I got the last one in the country as I tried to get one for The Mantis but to no avail.

I'm going to have to with my watches. The Sub, the Seamaster pro 300, and my Planet Ocean. I don't consider the Seikos to be real Bond watches. I just don't think he would choose them. They weren't very water resistant and they were generally flash at the time. He might wear a G-Shock now but that would be like Bond wearing jeans. Only if the mission called for it. I am also fond of my Slazenger sweater a la Goldfinger and my Penfold Hearts.

I don't know if you can call this a Bond possession, I always carry my Parker Jotter in brushed stainless. I don't know if it qualifies because I carried it before it was supplied by Q Branch. After Bond got his, everyone said "Ooh, will that thing blow up?" So, it had extra clout for carrying it.

Surely, there is enough people in the NG to make it worth someones while to commission replica jackets. Wested or someone. I don't know too many leather people.

The word is that Indy Magnoli is working on a replica as we speak

Unless the picture's been squeezed, isn't that a PPK/S?

My prized possession(s): Walther LP53; BSA Thunderball poster; 1st edition Pan ("Not for sale in UK") You Only Live Twice paperback (scorpion), with dustjacket (film tie-in) - never seen another, although I suppose they're gonna come out of the wookwork now.

I don't know about "squeezed", but my fine photgraphy has been mangled a bit trying to make it fit into the box at right.

But it IS a PPK.... and in the proper caliber 7.65 m/m. - unlike the guns used in the films.

Stopping power wise - it no doubt falls short of the famous "brick through a plate glass window", but then I have never had the urge to toss it through glass to test that assertion.

Clarky

I was wondering what color is the jacket, Black or brown? Sometimes, brown jackets can look black on film and vice versa.

The Bond Experience

It is a dark brown....

Walther PPK

The most prized piece of my collection is Desmond
Llewelyn's autograph that my best friend got for me
on a trip to England in the early 90's, he evan got to have lunch with Desmond as the friends he was staying with had knowen Desmond for many years.

Second it would be the replica Walther PPK that my dad and I made out of an old wooden toy gun.

Barbel

Probably my Corgi Aston Martin DB5, which I've had since 1965. It's still in its display box and the gadgets still work, and there are "Secret Documents" included.

I've a lot of First Edition books, although not CR!

Aston Martin DBS

One of my most prized items is my copy of Colonel Sun which is signed by Kingsley Amis - I won it in a James Bond Fan Club competition way back when.

Don't have any idea what it's worth - but I guess there's not that many of them about.
