What’s the difference the base material used I.e rubber vs something else.
I was looking for the one of these for years ultimately picked up a de activated (or butchered) one with silencer
Look like pretty accurate copies just like they have used in the later films.

Hi Bond 44, the PPK you have pictured is a de activated PPK, the one that I posted previously was a QOS Stunt, its either made out of hard rubber or resin -{
Yeah I was thumbing through 'The Most Famous Gun' and read that they started using Stunt Guns made of one form and later switched to the other in the more recent films, even ending up at 3D printing. They look very convincing and of course are easier to transport and no need for armours etc on site. THought the second shot looked too real to be stunt.
Just curious how does one end up with a stunt PPK from QOS or any other bond film - auction or friends in high places?
Cheers :007)

They use rubber, resin and in SF, polyurethane stunt guns. The poly guns are a new thing, but the resin and rubber ones go way back to Connery's films. Donk can show you a bakelite PPK from as early as FRWL. The castings and finishing they put on them now though, make them visually virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
Dusting off this thread to show a couple of my toy Walthers. Haven't been able to get ahold of a PP or even a PPK, but I have two PPK/S.

I guess PPK-L is correct too, since it's made of light plastic...

Very nice, @Simon_jrees! I need to get a brown-gripped PPK in my collection sometime - it looks nicer than in all black.
Thanks Quentin. You can get PPK grips on ebay and other sites by themselves. They're not difficult to find but do usually go for about 100+ notes for a decent pair that don't have cracks or anything.

Very nice!!!
Cheers, Tom
Ps I'm interested in a Brausch suppressor too.
Also bought a Walther LP53:
Here's my bespoke C-crown Trilby from the OHMSS Guincho Beach scene: (As opposed to the centre dent Trilby that Lazenby wears in some other scenes)
And just for fun....
Note: That wasn't an actual Aston Martin DBS seat used in this studio shot from OHMSS.
May be fun to find what actual seat it was...Rover saloon?
