James Bond's (Pierce Brosnan) hero Walther PPK pistol and silencer from Martin Campbell's Bond movie GoldenEye. Bond used his Walther PPK throughout the film, from his infiltration of the Soviet chemical weapons facility (where the pistol was fitted with a silencer), to his meeting with Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane). Colonel Ourumov (Gottfried John) later used Bond's weapon to kill Defence Minister Mishkin (Tcheky Karyo) and a guard, framing Bond for the crime.

The Walther PPK was Bond's weapon of choice throughout the series, up to and including Tomorrow Never Dies, when he then switched to the Walther P99. In The Making of GoldenEye by Garth Pearce, armourer Charlie Bodycomb explains that a real, blank-firing Walther PPK was used in close-up, because gun experts in the audience would be able to tell the difference.

The Walther PPK is made of blued steel with an acrylic grip, and has the serial number "811590". The silencer is attached to the pistol using a screw fitting via a threaded barrel. The pistol is sympathetically deactivated and features a functioning trigger, hammer, magazine release and safety. The lot is also accompanied by a certificate of authentication from Bapty, the production armourers, and the pistol's certificate of deactivation. Dimensions (pistol with silencer): 26.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 12 cm (10 1/2" x 1" x 4 3/4")

Firearm deactivated; see firearm deactivation notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £30,000 - 50,000 †
