This resin stunt Walther PPK and Galco EX204 shoulder holster come from GoldenEye (1995). Prop Store offered them as lot 232 in its London 2024 live auction, with an estimate of £6,000 to £12,000.
In the film
Prop Store says the pistol was one of two stunt guns the costume department gave Famke Janssen for a photograph session with Terry O’Neill at Leavesden Film Studios. GoldenEye stunt pistols were later refurbished for Pierce Brosnan‘s Bond to use as holster fillers in the Eurocopter Tiger theft, and again in Tomorrow Never Dies. The Galco EX204 holster in this lot was cut down and given a suede back for the Paris Carver hotel room sequence in that later film, which Prop Store says was shot at the Stoke Poges Ballroom.
The pistol and holster
The pistol. A resin Walther PPK. T-Cut polish was applied to the slide during post-production to reveal the paint-obscured serial number G004292. The pistol measures about 15 x 11.5 x 3cm.
The holster. A Galco EX204 shoulder holster, obtained in 2006 from the film and television armourer Bapty.
What came with them. A photograph of Janssen from the Leavesden session, autographed by her and authenticated by Garry King, and a copy of John E. Reynolds’s book 007 The Armoury, where this weapon appears on pages 92 and 93.
