Here are pictures of my S.D. Studios Golden Gun. It's the later, more accurate version with wooden plaque.

The golden gun is a beautiful piece to add to any collection.
Is it very expensive ? I have to admit to turning a little green with envy !
Well, if memory serves, they originally cost $650.00. I have a bunch of the original promotional fliers from S.D. Studios somewhere. My first S.D. Studios purchase was the Tball rebreather followed by the, Tball radioctive pill, then the FRWL attache throwing knife mounted on a plaque. Then I broke down and bought the FRWL attache case. The Golden Gun came later from a guy on the RPF after S.D. stopped making them. I think it cost me $100.00 over the original price of $650.00. Last time I checked the S.D. Golden Guns were selling in the $3000.00 price range. I'd hate to think what the S.D. Attache case is going for now.

I think the impression you are seeing is actually a reflection of three BW pictures of my children mounted in one frame. As for the PO, I have yet to purchase one, but I'm working on it. It's definitely a choice piece and Daniel Craig's portrayal made it so. Enjoy it in good health!

Thanks for the info on the golden gun.A beautiful piece ,but a bit out of my reach just now
price wise .
I am looking forward to seeing more photos of your collection.The golden gun has just made
me want to see the rest of your treasures.
The Signet first is a little beat up, but my Grandmother gave me a full set of Signets when I was a wee lad. I could never part with it. Enjoy.

Great to see those books ! Most of my Fleming books are signet,the only Pan I have
managed to find so far is Thunderball,but the thrill is in the hunt.
I am new here but have been a James Bond fan for years.My collection is small,books,dvds
some toys,etc.so I really enjoy seeing the photos posted here .This site seems to have something for every Bond fan.
I have been a fan for many years too, but I've also been collecting since about 1969. My collection runs the gamut, books, watches, toys, posters, props, models, comics, magazines and other ephemera, cards etc. I even have a pin set and a German FRWL movie poster that I picked up in Belgium while an Officer on a merchant ship.

I am relatively new here,so have you posted photos of your collection before ?
Which original prop do you have?
I only got one - the harpoon gun from LTK.
I've posted pictures of some of my watches and recently some of my props. However, the bulk of my collection has not been archived here. I do intend to post more and more pictures of my collection here in the near term.

If by original you mean screen used, I don't have any. If by original you mean the same exact items that were used by the production company, I have many.

I am always curious as to what we all have collectively here on ajb - well, may be that can be a new thread by itself.
Looking forward to seeing more of your collection. -{

Sweet looking gun and excellent photographs. I particularly like the Chungwa ciagarettes it's pictured with too. It makes me want to add a first gen GG to my stable as well. Enjoy, and thanks for posting your pictures.

Why thank you for you kind remarks.
If you wanted a 1st generation, I know a Man that is selling a very nice one
It probably costs a small fortune too. I'll PM you.
