Not sure how many members might fancy Casino Royale(1967) or other similar like the Pink Panther variants, but after viewing it many times the question formed in my mind of what type sidelock did James Bond employ to dispatch the pigeon drones? It was an ejector scattergun. One website seems to indicate it was a Stevens but I think not.   http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Casino_Royale_(1967) Images lifted from above. What say you? Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Yeah, Ursula Andress(Vesper Lynd) & Joanna Pettet(Mata Bond) are quite the distractions.

Raimey,
This database says it was a J. Stevens hammer gun, but I cannot see any external hammers in either of the two available photos. I'm with you, I think not, too.

Thanks Stan. I wonder if it was among the ranks of something akin to a Purdey?
Kind Regards,

I think it may have been the gun of my youth a Churchill XXV judging by the photograph.

Sure looks like a sidelock, and if the dots one can see on the locks are pins, then it's a back action with perhaps cocking indicators on the hammer pins. I doubt anyone can recognize a specific maker or model.
But the gun competence of Bond film crew sucks notoriously - remember Sean Connery posing for a poster with an air pistol?

I can't recall a Stevens sidelock hammerless, did they ever make one? Even the bulk of their hammer guns were also boxlocks as I recall.

Kind of looks like a false plated boxlock, with exaggerated pins to make it look "real"? A Cogsewell avant tout maybe?
