Factory Entertainment, Inc., has announced the\"\"<\/a> details of their latest limited edition prop replica offering. Starting September 1st, 2019 at 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time, collectors can pre-order their very own James Bond Golden Gun Limited Edition Prop Replica.<\/p>\n

The Prop<\/p>\n

The prop is the signature weapon of the \u2018$1 million dollar per shot\u2019 assassin, Francisco Scaramanga, as featured in the The Man With the Golden Gun (1974). Scaramanga\u2019s Golden Gun was made up of seemingly innocuous separate elements that when combined created a deadly single shot handgun, a weapon that was not quite deadly enough to best 007. The Golden Gun is certainly one of the most iconic weapons of the James Bond series, and perhaps one of the most widely recognized cinematic weapons of all time.<\/p>\n

The Replica<\/p>\n

Factory Entertainment’s stunning 1:1 scale prop replica of the Golden Gun, officially licensed by Danjaq LLC and EON Productions, has been created after meticulous study and research of the original props in the EON archives as well as interviews with original cast and crew. The replica can be assembled and disassembled into its machined metal, 18ct gold plated component parts, exactly as per the original prop:
\nFountain Pen \u2013 Forming the \u2018barrel\u2019 of the replica, the pen screws directly into the body of the lighter. Includes removable thread cap. An orange marking has been added to the end of the barrel to comply with modern regulations concerning replica weapons.<\/p>\n

Lighter \u2013 With a hidden \u2018slide out\u2019 section the lighter forms the main body of the replica. The lighter \u2018lid\u2019 opens to reveal a breech chamber.
\nCigarette Case \u2013 Open the end to create the handle and trigger housing of the replica. The Colibri logo engraved on the lighter lid on the original prop is not included on the replica for trademark reasons.
\nCufflink \u2013 With a sprung blade, the cufflink screws into the trigger housing, firmly locking all the components together and allowing for a trigger-like effect.
\nBullet \u2013 A replica bullet inscribed with the 007 legend that can be fitted into the \u2018breech\u2019 of the cigarette lighter or displayed separately.<\/p>\n
