Hi there just a quick introduction, my name is Daniel and I work for The Propstore Of London. I thought some of you Bond fans maybe interested in the following press release.

**********Press Release**********


The Propstore of London is proud to announce the sale of a weapons
archive of screen icon James Bond. Working in association with the
armourers that have been providing the guns to EON productions for over
40 years Propstore is delighted to be able to offer the guns and weapons
used by James Bond, attractive “Bond girls”, the evil villains and
expendable henchmen on screen in over 20 Bond movies.

This incredible archive includes a complete history of Bond’s guns from
Sean Connery’s Walther PP used in Dr. No through to the modern Walther
P99 used in Die Another Day by Pierce Brosnan. Other highlights include
Roger Moore’s Walther P5 from Octopussy, Timothy Dalton’s WA2000 sniper
rifle from The Living Daylights, Tanaka’s Gyro Jet gun from You Only
Live Twice, Nick Nack’s Derringer from The Man with the Golden Gun and
the huge “Tankbuster” gun from Die Another Day. These weapons have now
been decommissioned to UK legal requirements after being part of
England’s most extensive movie armoury.

The Prop Store of London has become recognised as one of the worlds
leading vendors of this form of memorabilia. Movie props and costumes
are now becoming recognised as their own form of art 'Prop Art',
recognition for the highly talented and unnamed artisans who work within
the film industry.

The Prop Store of London comprises of a dedicated team striving to
locate, research and present to collectors around the world these highly
sought after collectibles, with over 2500 items on their website
www.propstore.com with rare props and costumes being added on a daily basis.

Other rare Bond memorabilia will also be offered in the sale including
previously unpublished photos of Ursula Andress from Dr No, a variety of
hand props and crew items.

These amazing pieces of history will be auctioned off at Christies in
London on December 5th 2006. This sale offers Bond collectors and movie
fans an unprecedented opportunity to acquire a piece of cinematic history

That also happens to be my birthday. If anyone out there wants to get something for me from the auction, I won't mind.

You know...I always thought Timothy Dalton's sniper rifle from TLD would look great next to my lava lamp.

Where can we find some pictures of these props or items (and also the starting bid prices) ? I went to "the prop store of london" site and i saw nothing about that event.

Glad to hear it!

is there a way to bid online?

(i'm assuming there isn't but y'know I figured I'd ask)

Try their home page at http://www.christies.com and have a look around.


Or go direct to the December calendar page

http://www.christies.com/auction/calendar/...6&location=

At the moment there is no option to view the sale items, but I'm sure that a little nearer the date hey will have all the items listed.

For making online bids you will have to open an account with them.

There is one thing that confuses me about the Propstore of London selling these items, is that I thought the weaponry supplied to the Bond films was by Bapty Ltd, or is it one-in-the-same?
