Maybe it's something then that 'M' wants her to have...god, I don't know. I try to think but I can't picture anything without it being cheesy or rubbish that would explain such an emotive shot of them both, on a roof, with a black box.

If Eve takes it...is it for her, or is she going to keep it safe and hidden.

If Bond takes it...is it something to do with him/their past or does he have to make sure it gets somewhere else?


Damn this black box of mystery.


God...what IS in that box!?

A coat of arms for Bond's family? A picture? A letter? An urn of ashes? £250,000??

Look closer, it's obviously £250,000 Posted Image


:D

That is simply...brilliant!

I KNEW it!

It's a letter from M to Eve, welcoming her to MI6 as the new secretary.

An article in the Daily Mail which shows off the Empire cover with Bond on it, claims "The man who is taking charge of 007 for the final time has graced a very special edition of the new Empire magazine..."

Where on earth did they get the impression that SF is DC's last one?!

In the same way that the big battle scenes in the Bond films usually lull me to sleep! :)

Great effort, Marketto!! However, I don't think the silencer is necessary. It would look much better without, IMO.

Good eye, univex. Didn't even noticed Big Ben. This new G. I .Joe looks a lot better then the first one.

Great effort, Marketto!! However, I don't think the silencer is necessary. It would look much better without, IMO.

Me too but the silencer does look good considering Marketto007 added it. I would have thought the silencer would have been larger.

Some mentioned this photo could have been taken at SF manor because of the coat of arms in the background. However I don't think they are the same.

There have been a number of different versions of the Bond coat of arms. The above is the one designed by Production Designer Syd Cain for the film of OHMSS.Dennis Gassner may well have come up with his own take on it - in fact, that's what I'd expect.

Here is a different one used on the dust jacket of the original hardback.

and this is the one Fleming commissioned from the College of Arms

! Very good sir.

As for theSF image, the three balls are present but no longer in the up-turned V.

Not sure what this is supposed to say, if anything.

Interesting find Vauxhall, thanks for posting! It seems the 3 golden orbs are a prominent feature for Bond's crest, and I can't see them in that set picture.

Fascinating stuff. Can almost everyone be traced back to a certain family and coat of arms? Would love to know if my family has one, we are certainly not royalty though.

Thanks Shrublands, didn't know they can have different versions.
