Thanks so much. I have been following your vids for a while now. Big Bond fan. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. Cheers from Canada.
Great video. The attache case was always the top prop on my list. Followed by the Rolex Sub. I have a Papworth attache with British green leather lining which I purchased from Fortnum & Mason about 20 years ago. I believe Papworth is now consolidated with Swaine Adeney. On their website they are selling a reproduction of Bond's attache, without the accoutrements. However they do special modifications if you want extra features.
Hello David, congratulations on your channel. You really do a great job. I very rarely comment, but I had to make one this time. Your briefcase (Samsonite Xylem) is the correct model used in "die another day". The feet are correct. This is the Samsonite Xylem 800 series Scion model. The interior is black as we can clearly see when James has the briefcase filled with diamonds on his knees in the helicopter. The feet are the same as your briefcase as you can see very well when James close it. And indeed it is the same briefcase that Vesper uses to transport the money in the Venice scene. Just wach the video, it's easy.
Hi David.. Sorry unrelated to your video..Where do I get the vesper dress I saw in the background.. Wife would look good in that..lol.. Huge bond fan. I was named after Sean Connery. Anyway love your channel.
Hi David. We have a James Bond documentary on TV this morning in the UK. Everything or nothing: the untold story of 007. Not sure if you have seen it or can get it in the US? Radio Times Review by Jeremy Aspinall, James Bond fans may think they know everything about Britain's greatest secret agent, but this trawl through the history of the film franchise (released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Dr No) still feels like a refreshing affair. Not the usual wallow in girls, gadgets and villains, this instead chronicles the cultural icon through the prism of the lives of creator Ian Fleming and original producers Albert "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. Director Stevan Riley (Fire in Babylon) skilfully illustrates the trio's relationship with a neat use of previously unseen archive, home movies and film clips, backed up by the best soundtrack you could ever wish to have - the franchise's themes and title songs. All the 007s are interviewed (except for Connery, sadly), with the contributions from Lazenby, Moore and Brosnan particularly humorous and insightful. Casual observers will be fascinated, and even Bond obsessives may find something new to chew on (such as the inspiration for the heroine in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Connery's rapprochement with Broccoli on his death bed) during this revealing account of the genesis of cinema's most enduring series. I recommend it. Its on now in the UK and is a great insight in to the real Bond.
Great video Dave! One problem I've encountered with older, traditional brief cases is that they will not fit flat under a modern, very narrow, airline seat. Had to put it at an angle.
Great video, and there are a couple more that I like. Roger Moore has a few nice attaché cases, including one from Louis Vuitton in Octopussy and I think he had a couple from Gucci and Ferragamo. Then there’s Daniel Craig’s Globe Trotter valise in SPECTRE, I like that one too.
Hey David! Merry XMAS mate! Can you tell me if the Church's chukka boot of QOS are better than the Sanders? Are the Church's better worth the money than Sanders? Because I found the price of the Church's Ryder III 316.67 pounds! Which is double compared to the Sanders :/
David, I'm really enjoying your channel that i recently discovered. A lifestyle question for you if that's okay...what is your exercise routine and what kind of diet do you follow? You're in great shape and I'd like some ideas. My wife would appreciate a thin Mike again...lol..... (Mike in Ohio)
Hearing Maggianis passion for Bond and hearing him talk is incredible!!! Much respect
Thanks so much. I have been following your vids for a while now. Big Bond fan. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. Cheers from Canada.
The black case from From Russia with Love you can actually buy (without the gadgets). Adeney Swaine and Brigg in London still manufactures it.
Martin R. Krause it’s so goddamn expensive though

That briefcase is a dreams christmas gift (next to a aston martin). Merry christmas to all bond fan around the world.
Hi David,may I please ask who made your Gladstone bag? And great intro,enjoying your recent London updates, Thank you

I have seen it...it's excellent.
Great stuff!!!
Great interview, really enjoyed it. Perhaps the original knife had two holes so it could be inserted either way, i.e., no "right side up."
Thank you so much for the video. How do we get the DVD of the booklet about the FRWL briefcase?
Contact Ed at thefudss@aol.com
Hi, I've tried that email and received a bounce-back, could you please double check the address with Ed? Thanks!

Merry Christmas!
He would have had a .25 Beretta in the case, not a PPK. How do I order these in time for the kids to receive at Christmas?
I always assumed the ammo rods held the 7.65 ammo for his PPK, but makes sense it would be .22 for the AR-7!
Great video, and there are a couple more that I like. Roger Moore has a few nice attaché cases, including one from Louis Vuitton in Octopussy and I think he had a couple from Gucci and Ferragamo. Then there’s Daniel Craig’s Globe Trotter valise in SPECTRE, I like that one too.
David- terrific as always. Question: didn’t bond have another attaché in QoS, when he and Ms. Fields and Mathis leave the airport?
It was his suitcase, made by Tom Ford...!
Hey David, what kind of watch are you wearing in the interview?
The CR Planet Ocean by Omega
Thank you! By the way: Awesome Channel!
More videos on your Aston Martin, also you should add some glove box 007 gadget.!!!
I would love a brief case, but I don't have that sort of job. M.
Hey David! Merry XMAS mate! Can you tell me if the Church's chukka boot of QOS are better than the Sanders? Are the Church's better worth the money than Sanders? Because I found the price of the Church's Ryder III 316.67 pounds! Which is double compared to the Sanders :/
The Church's, to me, are MUCH better in quality.
Are going get the big chief studio James Bond figures?
Haven't received a heads up from them....maybe you can suggest it to them.
Happy Christmas!
bruh

I have been with P90X3 for years and still love it....do it probably about 5x a week....
Thanks for another excellent video. Could you please double check the email address that you posted as it just bounces back.
that intro is pure cringe :)
Perfect....exactly the reaction I was going for... ;)
