I'm not quite sure where this should go, but here seems as good a place as any.
Below is my Walther collection to date, plus one and a half. The top row is my "Bond Collection". It isn't perfect. At left is a Beretta 1935 (.32ACP). While in the books Bond uses a Beretta 418 in .25 ACP until he changes over to the PPK, in the movie Dr. No the pistol that Bond turned over to M was a Beretta 1934 or 1935 (would have to know the caliber to know, and even then you wouldn't know for sure). Having found a 1935 in outstanding shape I opted for it. They had a 1934 in far less desirable shape in .380, but a .32 seemed more appropriate and I've wanted a .32. It's actually a sweet gun that feels great in the hand. Actually, the 1934 or 1935 in either .380 or .32 would have been a fine gun for Bond. Next is an Interams PPK (.380) followed by a P5, and then a first generation all German P99 AS in .40. I hope to acquire a black 1st gen. P99 AS in 9mm.
Next row down is an Interarms PPK/S (.380, an Interarms PP Super in 9x18 Ultra, and a SW99 in .45 (counts as 1/2).
The bottom row is a P99C QA in 9mm, and a P1 ex police.
Beyond those guns I hope to add a P88 and possibly a PPS.
