    That was never used in the film. It's one of Stembridge's dodgy pieces. Dalton never used a pre war Zella PPK. All the PPK's supplied for the LTK production came from Bapty. Donk will confirm.

    It has the correct grips, but it's another pre-war Zella made model. NEVER EVER used on screen. It's another Stembridge special. The real screen used gun is still in the UK, as are Pam's Beretta's.

    Those Licence to Kill Stembridge guns have been doing the rounds as screen used guns for a number of years and have been fetching big bucks by collectors that think they have a real Bond PPK. The truth is sadly very different. If people just watched the DVD before bidding, they would see the truth right there on their own TV. A pre war Zella PPK is very different from a post war ULM PPK. The most telling features are the rear sights and the cut out on the muzzle end of the slide.

    Stembridge helped Bapty import Bapty's own guns onto the set. They DID NOT supply them (PPK's) or keep them afterwards. Bapty did and still owns them and they are in a special archive ;)

    So, ASP9mm, if Stembridge are telling porkies by stating that things are screen-used when they're not and loaning them to exhibitions and even selling them for considerable sums, how are they getting away with it? Are EON not interested in challenging them because they're not genuine? Has no one else attempted to publically correct them? It's one thing to falsely put something on display, but quite another to sell it as something it's not.
  • Asp9mmAsp9mm Over the Hills and Far Away.Posts: 7,535MI6 Agent
    Stembridge went out of business, so the sellers and auction houses are purely trading on the COA Stembridge issued. Profiles sold these things too, so the history of going through 'reputable' auction houses is in these guns history. sadly it's a false history. I know for sure a certain auction house was contacted before by a Bond firearms expert explaining exactly what they had there, but they chose to ignore all evidence presented or do the small amount of research that would have shown the truth.

    The auctions are in the US, and are always quite low profile for such a supposedly important piece of Bond history, so fly under the EON radar. Well they have so far. There have been many dodgy pieces of film memorabilia and costumes sold through high profile specialist auction houses in the past which have been publicly ridiculed. But it doesn't seem to deter them.

    Guns supplied to the bond films are converted to fire blanks. It requires quite a large modification and machining job to do it. Once converted, they can't be converted back to fire live rounds. The fact that these Stembridge PPK's can, is a huge tell too.

    Personally I don't think EoN would give a flying one. It's not their name on the COA's and selling anything while saying it has a bond connection isn't a breach of EoN's copyright..... is it?* :s *said with deflective interogative.

    To be honest and a bit blunt, I have no idea why people get sucked in to this COA stuff. A COA is just a bit of paper with either a lie or the truth on it. There is no way, unless you contact the source (ie where the item came from) to verify, of knowing for sure the item was indeed used on screen. And usually the source, real or not, is often hard to trace as said items can sometimes to obatined... ahem.... when people aren't looking. Anyone can print off a COA and for me, they're worth as much as one of our lasses' used nappies.

    I have screen used items in my collection, not many, but a few. I know they're the real mccoy because I personally know not where, but who they came from, or like my DAD ice glass, I made them myself, for the the film. (thought I'd shoehorn that in there again).

    Even stuff on ebay, believe it or not, can be fakes. There's one guy who came on here to defend himself when someone 'called him out' over the authenticity of his items. The situation calmed down and I dipped my toe and bought from this guy, guess what, I got ripped off too, and guess what's worse, the majority of people think this guy is genuine and were actually backing him up. Giant facepalm moment.

    When it comes to Bond guns, I trust donk, pete and asp only. Why? If you know these guys too, you know the reasons, if you don't I guess that's tough luck. I'm extremely lucky to know these guys, and consider them all as mates. Other people, even with the best intentions, can themselves be mislead and inadvertently mislead others with the false info they've been fed.

    As for the auction houses shunning genuine tip offs, its no great surprise they don't care, they'll not get a sale if they pull the item, and when money is involved more often than not morals go out the window.

    It's a bit like the DB5 from GF. 2 used for filming and how many are 'the car' now? Even when the bloody thing went missing (insurance) cough cough people still claim to have sat in 'the car' since.

    If you visit some pokey little auction house or museum and connery's stunt wig just happens to be on display, try not to be so naive and assume that its the genuine article. Besides, the stunt wig, or bert as he's affectionately known, retired to Battersea dogs, cats and rugs home in the mid 80's where he peacefully let slip his mortal coil in 1995 shortly after seeing GE's premiere at Didbury's 'cinema behind the bins' open air theatre - that's true ya know, I've got a COA to prove it. :p

    When it boils down to it, it's simply a case of buyer beware. It doesn't matter what anyone tries to do or say, there will always be the less honest of people around trying to rip us off, and if it sounds to good to be true, guess what?

    Also note the lack of responce so far from the OP...... telling isn't it?

    Good points all. If someone wants to spend that much at auction, you'd think they look at a DVD of the film and confirm the differences before bidding, too!

    I couldn't agree more about COAs not being worth the paper they're printed on 99% of the time. In the last decade or so, all sorts of 'authenticators' have popped up, and in many cases completely unknown in their line of collecting. However, because they issue a COA on pretty paper - or, the piece de resistance - with a fancy hologram on it, they must know what they're talking about. I'm no expert when it comes to guns, props etc which is why I turn to the people who are and learn as I go and I am forever impressed by some of the people on here. Except for Pete.

    @Always shaken The gun used by Bond at the climax of Live and Let Die is a Smith & Wesson Model 29 in .44 Magnum( Made famous in the Dirty Harry movies ) with a nickel plated finish. This same prop gun or another nickel finished Model 29 is also seen in The Man With The Golden Gun inside Scaramanga's gun cabinet when Scaramanga attempts to arm himself only to find the cabinet locked.

    Ad I mentioned before a big thank you to everyone here with the proper background information on the Licence to Kill PPK. If it was not for your help, I might have thought that was the actual screen used PPK up for auction and not an incorrect pre-war model.

    On the subject of the value of COAs, here's a great example:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Signed-IAN-FLEMING-JAMES-BOND-1st-ed-Books-Dustcovers-UACC-007-Martini-SET-/190942531509?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item2c750fcfb5

    This signature seems to come with at least two COAs and while it may well be a genuine signature of an Ian Fleming, it's certainly not the Ian Lancaster Fleming that we know and love so well. Not for a moment would I like to impugn the expertise of those who verified the autograph, but I've always wondered why people take literary or historical autographs to be authenticated by sports or entertainment experts. I really wouldn't want a Picasso painting analysed by someone specialising in postage stamps, yet you see that sort of thing all the time with autographs and manuscripts.
