Christies London sold A Walther air pistol held by Sean Connery as James Bond in the photo-shoot used for the  the poster in the advertising campaign for the 1963 United Artists/Eon film From Russia With Love today for an astounding  £277,250, which is $438,609 in U.S. Dollars. The weapon was not used in any of the James Bond films but was used for quite a few promotional posters.

While not an original, screen used prop, the advertising poster it was used in is well known.

Unfortunately the Darth Vader costume and helmet attributed to Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980), failed to sell. It had an esitmate of  £160,000 – £230,000 ($253,120 – $363,860 U.S.)
