Magnum, P.I. (1980-88) Walther PPK
Magnum, PI (1980 - 1988)
Tom Selleck as Thomas Magnum
Walther PPK - 7.65mm
In the many film adaptations of Ian Fleming's spy novels, the
hero typically identifies himself as "Bond. James Bond". Equally
identifiable is the handgun wielded by the British secret agent - a
Walther PPK semi-automatic pistol. This particular PPK was used by
actor Timothy Dalton in his portrayal as Bond. This piece shares
additional provenance as a back-up piece for Tom Selleck's title
role in the television series Magnum, P.I.
