Hiya Pete
As promised, here is the only pic I have of my SD blueprint received direct from Steve some time back. Sorry BP is partially hidden by some of my items on display. It shows front and sides of the attache. I also have the knife correspondence btw Dave W and Steve at the time the replica was been made. It's the only pic I have until I get my camera out to retake the pics. Bear with me on this for a while as I had to move a lot of my collection around last week as we are doing a bit of redecorating.
Rgds, S
Cool picture Sid. Love the vintage items including the lighter. I too have the Tiptree Little Scarlet Strawbery Preserves and the Frank Cooper's Original Vintage Oxford Marmalade on one of my shelf diplays. Two of the literary Bond's favorites. Have had a hard time trying to find the Norwegian Heather Honey. Vintage Bond right out of the novels at its best!

So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.

Re the honey...I spent a long time in Fortnum and Mason looking for honey. There were all types of honeys in there....but did not find any Norwegian honey named Heather, LOL.
Teppo, can you find any Norwegian honey...they are closer up your way...?
In Fortnum, They have the Lillet Blanc in there plus still had the DuPont cufflinks, the other 2 from Cr, not the "coffin shaped ones tho'. Kent combs and brushes there plus Floris...you can get some of these on discount mid year and at EOY sales.
I really love these old cameras. The Rolleiflex is really gorgeous. If anyone is going to collect these, make sure you not only get the right model (Type 1...there were 3 model Types) but you need to narrow it down to the approx year of release...this is because even within the same model run, there were differences in the details.
Its made of metal, chrome and leatherette...really heavy and the fold up viewfinder screen is really "old fashioned" in a nice way. Extremely sharp lens on these old machines.
Another thing about these old cameras, try to get them in top nick, if you can find them, or if budget allows. You will appreciate all the chrome better.

Sid, i see what i can do mate :007) Hopefully my mrs. won't slap me too much, while i'm searching some honeys
As many of you already know, heather honey has quite strong aroma comparing to normal honeys, it has reddish-brown colour and jellylike composition. You either love it or loathe it Someone might think am i talking about the honey or honey )
There are Heather honeys and heather honey, this is the latter
Knowing who to trust is Everything in this business.

Suddenly I thought we were talking about Rosalind Lloyd's character in "The Wild Geese" when Richard Harris refers to her as "Heather honey" in the casino whilst looking for Sean Fynn (Roger Moore) - see there is a Bond connection. And having read Sid's contribution on Rolli's I'm now very sad because I've got a type 2. Oh well back to the Bay of E.

Well if you can find some Heather Honey (the kind you put on bread), I'd definitely like to buy some. Some for display and some for eating. Tiptree's Little Scarlet and Frank Cooper's marmalade are both very good. I'll bet the Noewegian Heather honey is just as tasty. Served with scrambled eggs in copper bowls along with pink champagne and low music and you've got a Bondian breakfast!

Here's a pic of original heather honey made in Norway:
I make some contacts tomorrow to get you guys a price for it -{
"Lynghonning" stands for heather honey.
Of course there's plenty of alternative products as well.

Outstanding Teppo! Let us know the price.
Did not mean to hijack your thread danjaq-0ff. It's fantastic that you were able to acquire a set of blueprints of the venerable S.D. Studios FRWL attache case. Just a wee bit envious.
