It finally came in!! Literally get chills just holding it.
You do realize that is a copy of a PPK/S? The 'S' stands for special to the American market. It was created from a PP frame and a PPK slide to circumvent the Gun Control Act of 1968. Then Walther licensed Interarms to manufacture the PPK (and PPK/S) in the States which was not part of GCA68 and was not against the law.
Looks like airsoft, maurushin is it or something? Can't remember the manufacturer but I've got the P99 from the same stable, they're nicely accurate, certainly good enough for display.
HerrMichael is right though, the S stated by Q in Skyfall stands for signiature as in PPK - Signature as it reads Bond's palm print so only he can fire it. Standard PPK/S it is not I'm afraid.
It's rare, it's red and it's really cool. Thanks for sharing (and for keeping it vague enough to avoid copying, several creators asked me about making dupes and I said, "No, no!").
Microphone seen on M's desk during the Skyfall pre-credits - and again in the scenes when she's writing 007's obituary.
Just managed to get my hands on the JBL Speakers that feature on M's desk as she's speaking to Bond and Eve in the field in the Skyfall Pre-Credits - should make a nice display with the Sony Microphone. I say I've got my hands on it... it should be delivered next week. Should make for a good display when I get my display space sorted.

Starting with my Denix PPK replica and custom suppressor made out of a Wind chime display rack leg. Recycling at it's best.
Next up are my GoldenEye mine replicas. I'm not good with electronics so mine don't have the LED's.
And lastly my Spectre Ring.

Still, not a bad prop for those who cannot own a firearm.
For me the photo alone is pure gold. One of if not my favorite Bond film. Would love to locate one myself.
The last few gun owners to my home were fooled when they first looked. Don't take these out in public!
Slight correction...it's www.thespyboys.com
THANKS, ROBERT!!!!
