Bond's Money Clip

Welcome to ScotlandPosts: 1,468MI6 Agent
I need help from some UK members on sourcing this nice prop, although it was not seen in the movie for more than a nanosecond this photo is from the Omega James bond exhibition:
I already painstakingly identified it as being from an English silversmith by the name of Douglas Pell, they sell them directly as well as distribute them through a jewelers throughout the UK.
The letter "f" on the bottom is a date mark from 2005, I can easily get one with a new date mark "h" but I wanted to see if any of you could track down any with "f" date marks, who's up for the challenge?

However, the links to items don't work very well. But there is a list of distributors.

I spoke to someone at Douglas Pell and they said they dont have any with "f" date marks however if you contact them in sure they will happily sell you one with this years date mark for under $100

BTW the banknotes in the pictures you posted are Euronotes in denominations of 50 and 100. For anyone who wants to recreate the Omega display. Thanks S for setting us all off on the hunts. Regards
Well, I spoke to Jo yesterday and she said Douglas Pell would have a new website called silvershopgifts.com up and running by today. Apparently they have many different money clips so I sent her a picture. Well, the website is up and the correct one is tagged as being in CR. Here is the direct link to the order page:

This is of course only for those of you who can stand having the different year hallmark.

I wish Jo could have the London Assay office hallmark some with the 2005 hallmark for us. then again being that this was only seen for a nano second in the film (when bond tips the guy that hands him the envelope with the fake passports) maybe it doesn't matter?

Thanks for your efforts but I can't access the link - I need a password to view it ?
Yes that happened to me yesterday when I tried the website before it was up and running. I think they may be still working on it or doing maintenance.

"Sorry if you try again you can open the site. We had minor launch problems and withdrew the website for correction. You will see a promotional code box. If you type in the code 1234DP it should halve all our prices. This is a brand new idea starting this week and we hope it to be very successful. What we have not managed to do is work out the postage rates yet for the USA. We are working on this but for the time being we can quote by email"
MUST HAVE POSTED THIS AT THE SAME TIME AS THE MANITS ;%
