This replica prop is inspired by and based on Scaramanga's infamous Golden Gun...
The 'Vintage Gentlemen's Accessory set' features a host of items including: A
Cigarette Case, A Colibri Molectric 88 Cigarette Lighter, A Waterman Fountain Pen,
Cuff Links and a Belt Buckle; all hand made from heavy tooled brass and plated in
genuine 18 Carat Gold. Every fashion accessory in the kit can be worn and utilised
as everyday items as shown in the video... The whole item features all of the functions
in one single unit, which was said to feature in the original fictitious screen seen prop
and in the film script... This prop is inspired from the idea, design and the basis of what
the Golden Gun was meant to be; the idea of the film prop. It is not meant to be an
exact detailed replica of the film prop... The main idea behind this kit was to take an
item which was; up until now a complete fantasy and its construction and functions
only existed in fiction and to make it a reality... I hope you enjoy the video and photos
better this time round :D ... and sorry for getting over excited back in 2008... how time flys

Thank You, Your Humble Quartermaster......... Michael

I would just like to thank my Grandfather for making this thing possible and for his help with the
build and design of it, Could not have done it without him -{ heres to you :007)

    Wow very cool, so god damn shiny its unbelievable. And it fires very nice. Good choice of the wood colour it complements the gold perfectly.

    OMG! You mean that the lighter works and you have two cufflinks and all.. And the case!

    Factory Entertainment is maybe not the only option out there than !!

    ditto what keeww says -{

    Forget the past and enjoy your gun. It's your interpretation of the GG and has a huge sentimental value for you!

    Some details may not be screen-accurate but some details are much more realistic even than the screen seen prop!

    Cheers!

    Michael,
    Thank you for sharing with all of us your passion, craftsmanship, and execution of a wonderful project.
    I feel very lucky to have you on our OHMSSDBS build team, and your Golden Gun is a perfect example of why we chose to bring you on as our Quatermaster.
    Your grandfather's work is a legacy now to all of our Bond community.
    I like how one other member mentioned that the gun is even better than the film seen one! this is exactly in our mission statment at OHMSSDBS.com, to give the world an example of our best work, and interpretation of a film seen piece.
    I say to you: Mission Accomplished....and then some!
    Cheers,
    Tom

    very very nice job mick, the plating is real nicely done, perfect job. my favourite bit is the presentation, you've made a real nice job.

    chuck that wooden solex in the bin and stick to this kind of quality.

    dare i say its better than FE's version?

    It would take me too long to write down everything I think about Mick's GG.
    I'll narrow it down to one word...A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    This earns you (and your Grandfather) the right to call yourselves "Quartermaster"

    Mick, what can I say that hasn't been said...seen this through all its progressions...both mental and physical. The journey was long, but just look at that view! REALLY one of the coolest things this board has seen. Bravo!

    Yes, I think it's an awsome gun. It's too bad that FE could not make one with all the improvments you have on your gun. I've seen it fire too. Great work!

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

    Finally seen the youtube footage (had to watch it at home) and think it's fantastic! Lovely looking gun, and even like the music too!

    You and your grandad have clearly worked very hard on that and the recognition you're receiving is very well deserved.

    Well done -{

    I can only sit back agog and marvel at your achievement !
    That is a simply stunning piece - THAT is what FE should have been aiming for...

    Congratulations to both your Grandad and yourself for a remarkable achievement -{



    And a great video too !

    Although your own interpretation and not SA, this is a fantastic prop!!!
    All the research and work that has gone into this, is unbelievable.
    I love solid metal and especially when it gold plated!!
    One of the best (if not the best) ever shown here!!
    Thanks! {[]

    Hi Guys... Thanks for all of your kind comments and praise towards This prop.
    Both myself and my Grandfather are happy that you have all enjoyed seeing
    it in action and it has now received its AJB007 stamp of approval

    Maybe..... just maybe, I will get to assemble and demonstrate it to
    some of you guys in person at some point in time at a Bond event.

    The Golden Gun..... will Return

    I plan to put together a digital booklet / page on my website showing
    this props build and development and progress from its early stages to
    its finished state... this will show all drawings and artwork in its build up
    and also behind the scenes photos of its construction and design etc
    this will also show a lot of unused ideas and designs and variations...
    I also hope to include a complete historical run down on The Golden Guns
    from The originals to the replicas etc.... will be putting this together in my
    spare time....

    My Grandfather and I are thinking of going ahead with many other James
    Bond & other film props ( with the same approach in mind ) the more
    functional the better!

    Please keep an eye on my website for more info and updates, some long
    over due.

    so in closing with this guys............. its been emotional

    Thanks again for your thoughts and opinions, they are all very appreciated

    Coming soon....... A fully functioning - - - - Gun from - - - - - - - - - and The
    - - - - / - - - from - - - -

    FYI

    From the Golden Gun Kit above .......... available for commission IS:

    The Golden Belt Buckle with Golden Rounds - Plated in 18 Carat Gold -
    wearable and useable as an everyday item,
    Optional styles of Bullet Tubes - plain / smooth like the film OR knurled
    like the version in my vintage, Gentlemans Accessory Set above.

    AND

    Golden Cuff Links exact to the ones in video and photos. engraved with
    the initials of your choice OR plain like the film used cuff links, again wearable
    and usable as every day items, plated in genuine 18 Carat Gold by
    CHROMATRON Ltd of Glasgow

    These two items can be made to go with and compliment your SD or FE Golden
    Gun...... making it The complete! Scaramanga Accessory Kit

    Hi Michael, congratulations on an extraordinary prop. I think you have taken our fan driven prop making to a new higher level. Not only is you GG operational on many levels, but the presentation, video, and gorgeous hand-made case have me convinced this belongs to either Scaramenga or someone of very high taste. Although it’s early in the year, I vote this as the best prop of 2011. I will contact you directly about the buckle, magnificent! Sincerely, George
