EXCLUSIVE: Golden Gun

From Barry Eldridge:

David,



Happy Holidays to you to ! We will shortly be issuing a little Bond related announcement with more details on the gun, and confirmation of the signature edition.. which despite the terrible snow in London was completed on Friday of last week… I guess mere bad weather does not stop a Sith Lord or the Lord of Summerisle.

The plaques where then whisked off to Sir Roger is going to complete them over Christmas in the very Bond’esque locations of Switzerland and Monaco! The plaques will have more air miles than Bond himself when they are finally make it to customers.



As you can see form the copy the replica itself has more confirmed features, including actual Gold Plating. I cannot wait to show you the initial prototypes.. they are looking brilliant! Peter Lamont signed off on them last week and was very impressed.



We will be announcing this later today.. feel free to share from Tomorrow and you have the exclusive on this image ;-)

Golden Gun Details Copy
DATE – We are incredibly proud to announce not one, but two versions of our forthcoming Golden Gun 1:1 Scale prop replica from the iconic James Bond production The Man with the Golden Gun.
Both versions are accurate and detailed non-firing replicas of the props seen on screen and assemble and disassemble into the component parts; Scaramanga’s lighter, cigarette case, pen and cufflink. Each replica will also include a unique 4.2mm caliber ‘007’ inscribed replica bullet than can be loaded for display into the weapon that so famously only held one bullet .“ I only need one, Mr. Bond.”
Each replica will be produced to the highest standards and will be manufactured from both cast and machined aluminum and alloy parts and plated in genuine 18 ct gold. Also included is a unique ‘007’ branded museum quality display stand and acrylic cover that will allow any collector to display this stunning piece at the center of their collection. The replicas will also be accompanied by a specially designed and highly detailed booklet detailing the history of the original prop and the fabrication and design of the replica as well as behind the scenes interviews and information from the cast and crew .
Each replica will come with an etched and numbered plaque:
The Golden Gun 1:1 Limited Edition LE
A numbered limited edition of just 1000 pieces worldwide
The Golden Gun 1:1 Dual Signature Edition SE
A numbered limited edition of just 400 pieces worldwide hand signed by both
Sir Roger Moore and Sir Christopher Lee commemorating their roles as James Bond 007 and Francisco Scaramanga respectively.

    Thanks for the update Mantis - I can't wait to see them in the flesh!

    Whilst I knew they would be a limited edition, I think I had foreseen more than 1000 so I guess this will have a big impact on the price. Any idea on this?

    Happy Xmas to all by the way!

    This is excellant news, my piggy bank is now ready for the onslaught of the SE.....I hope. I commend all those at FE for moving this project along, now we just have to support them to allow further treasures to be released.

    Dear Santa

    I have been a good boy this year and I would like a FRWL Attache Case, a GF Homer set and a TB rebreather.

    PS At risk of waking a sleeping giant, I read the title and thought it was going to be 'The Scottish One'

    Simply wow ! I'm tempted to order the limited edition even without knowing the price... maybe a good thing pre-order isn't available yet.
