@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.
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.
Thanks for that ,that has bugged me for years ,
By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

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.

Thank you for the update, ASP 9mm, I too was mislead by the You Tube video from the NRA Msueum, and the 1989 book, The Making Of Licence To Kill has misprinted information in the section, "Guns and The Armouror" about both the Walther PPK used by James Bond and the twin Stainless Steel Beretta 950's used by Pam Boiver
