Very nice. I will agree those movies sold a lot of PPK’S. People who say they would never buy a gun because they saw it in a movie are often kidding themselves. Especially when it comes to westerns.My carry gun for a few days...
Post a few Walthers PPK’s in honor of the character that kept this little gun around.

I bought the gun and the watch, a Rolex Submariner. lol
You do know he was in the Royal Navy? Hard to spend time in the Royal Navy, and not fire a weapon.In Jackie Stewart's autobiography, he mentions that Sean Connery never actually fired a gun until he participated in the Rolex Celebrity Challenge at Gleneagles in 1986, shooting clay birds.
Here's a Bond gun you don't see every day. Walther LP 53 as seen in the FRWL movie posters.View attachment 952848
PS This is the one that started my collection. I gave $20 for it in the early 70s.
Very nice! What is that round-looking component on the bottom the grip? Magazine floor plate?
The LP in LP 53 stands for Luft Pistole or air pistol. It's a 177 single shot and the round knob is where the spring and piston reside. They didn't have a PPK at the photo shoot and the photographer had an LP 53 in the studio. That pistol sold for 400K 10 years ago.
