This slim leather holster, stamped by Bruce Stevens Holsters of London, carried the Walther PPK of Pierce Brosnan‘s Bond under his Brioni suits in GoldenEye (1995). Prop Store offered it in its Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction in London in 2019 with an estimate of £3,000 to £5,000.
In the film
Prop Store explains that Bond wears two different holsters in the film: a close fitting one that keeps the line of his suit smooth, and a larger Galco holster that let Brosnan draw and holster the PPK quickly. This is the close fitting one, worn under the tailored suit and secured with a strip of Velcro.
