This deactivated Walther PPK, serial number 811475, was used for second unit filming on GoldenEye (1995), Pierce Brosnan‘s first Bond film. Prop Store offered it as lot 162 in its Los Angeles March 2024 live auction, with an estimate of US$40,000 to US$80,000.
In the film
The PPK is Bond’s sidearm throughout the film. In one scene Valentin Zukovsky names its calibre from the sound of Bond cocking the hammer behind him.
