Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LONDON, March 29 (UPI) -- A .357 Magnum revolver owned by James Bond creator Ian Fleming -- while not Bond's preferred weapon -- sold at a London auction for $24,000.
The engraved Colt Python -- made especially for Fleming by the Colt. Co. -- came with a letter from the weapon's maker and a copy of the 1959 Bond novel "Goldfinger," the BBC said Thursday.
The suave Bond character, who went by "007," carried a slimmer weapon that didn't break the line of his dinner jacket. However, his nemesis in "The Golden Gun," Scaramanga, did pack a Colt.
Fleming was a journalist, a banker and a World War II naval intelligence officer before moving to Jamaica where he went on to pen the Bond novels.
