JAMES BOND 007: SCARAMANGA'S 24CT GOLDEN GUN PROP REPLICA: An official numbered edition Golden Gun Replica of Scaramanga’s Golden Gun, one of the cinematic world’s most iconic weapons and a hugely popular James Bond gun. The 24ct gold-plated 1:1 scale collectors’ piece is a multi-part replica of the unique firearm made for the 1974 film, which was made up of seemingly innocuous separate elements, that when combined created a deadly 4.2-calibre single-shot handgun. This piece is individually numbered 0734. The Set includes: The five 24ct gold-plated elements – lighter, fountain pen, cigarette case, cufflink and bullet Individually numbered metal plaque Story booklet Certificate of authenticity Wooden display box Gold-plated cigarette lighter – with a hidden slide-out section, the textured metal lighter forms the main body of the replica. Flick open the hinged lid to reveal the breech for the single golden bullet. Please note: the Colibri logo engraved on the lighter lid on the original prop is not included on the replica for trademark reasons. Gold-plated fountain pen – complete with removable thread cap, this screws directly into the body of the lighter to form the barrel. An orange marking has been added to the end of the barrel to comply with replica weapons regulations. Gold-plated cigarette case – this textured metal case hinges open to create the handle and trigger housing. Gold-plated cufflink – this acts as the trigger. With a sprung blade, the cufflink screws into the trigger housing, firmly locking all the components together. Gold-plated bullet – inscribed with 007, this can be fitted into the breach of the lighter or displayed separately. Display case – this high-quality case has a hinged window lid and metal plaque showing your unique edition number. It features a reversible lining that allows you to display the piece assembled or disassembled, and is made of piano-black lacquered wood and acrylic, detailed with a subtle 007 logo. Dimensions.
