What do you consider to be the "Holy grail" of Bond memorabilia?

GordoLeiter

For me it would have to be the Aston Martin from Goldfinger. But of course those are hard to find nowadays, it ould make one hell of a collectors item for Bond fans though.

depending on your budget - some can afford real cars, others like me can only afford toy cars

a real Aston Martin is definitely not on any of my list, the Corgi's at least are on my list

Well I know that unlike some members here that can afford and have the contacts to be able to source and appropriate the real deal, screen seen props, I'm a little more realistic with my aspirations. I tend to acquire either commercial items (no clothing, although I do have a RN Commanders hat) that have been seen or used in the Bond films. I also enjoy recieving some of the wonderful creations that our diverse membership can and do produce (you all know who you are). I also manufacture some of my own reproductions.

So that's the preamble, my grail items tend to change as I manage to procure the previous item. It may therefore surprise you to know then that my current grail item is the SA cremation urn from DAF and I have been looking for one for years, I've even been into the actual mortuary used as Slumber Inc in Henderson NV and they couldn't help, even though I know that the only scene filmed there was the building exterior, but I couldn't not ask.

Yes, it is a very large-sized urn and would be hundreds of dollars even on eBay. I brought a tour group inside Slumber on one of my events to meet with the mortuary director and the interior was used for filming. There is also a literal Garden of Remembrance outside!

A screen used Walther PPK with mock silencer or a Tuxedo worn by one of the actors that played Bond. Also I would not mind owning the Walther WA 2000 or the H&K UMP9 either.

How about "Poosy Galore"?

I know, that's a mighty ancient kitty kat by now. In her prime perhaps?

Not serious here, but I thought it was funny.

I would not mind owning an attache case either. Possibley in the future when I have funds I need I can get one.

The grail for me would be a Thunderball poster signed by Connery. I don't think he does signings or anything Bond related anymore. I was hoping that he would sign at least one of the Jeff Marshall lithographs like Roger Moore.

A real Aston Martin DB5 would be slightly second.

Yeah, I suppose a grail for me would be the Aston Martin DB5 followed by the 1933 4.5 liter Bentley with Amherst Villiers supercharger (4.5 liter Bentley Blower). After that it would be the Aston Martin DBS (OHMSS film) followed by the Bentley MK II Continental with custom body and engine updated from 4.5 liters to 4.9 liters along with an Arnot supercharger operated by a magnetic clutch (Thunderball & OHMSS novels) aka the "locomotive".
