James Bond’s Walther Air Pistol Sold

The Walther air pistol held by Sean Connery for a James Bond movie poster sold at auction in London for

£277,250. It was used in the poster for the 1963 Bond movie From Russia With Love.

And as seen in the poster.

  

The pre-auction estimate by Christie’s was in the £15,000-20,000 range.

I realize that it is associated with a James Bond movie but that is a lot of money to pay for a fancy BB gun!
