Gun From ‘Dr. No' Sells for $100K At Auction

LONDON — James Bond's Walther PP gun, wielded by Sean Connery in the 1962 movie, "Dr. No," sold for $106,202 at Christie's International in London on Tuesday, double its presale estimate.

Mr. Connery's gun was the most expensive of 60 weapons featured in Bond films in the past 40 years that Christie's sold for a total of $427,706, along with other movie memorabilia. The buyer's name wasn't disclosed. Roger Moore's Walther P5 handgun, used in the 1983 film, "Octopussy," fetched $14,154, missing its top estimate of $15,727.

The Bond guns were sold by the Prop Store of London on behalf of the armorers who supply weapons for 007 movies.

"Dr. No" was the first of 21 Bond movies.
