This breather faithfully replicates the gadget presented to James Bond (Sean Connery) by Q (Desmond Llewelyn) for use in the Bahamas during the events of Thunderball (1965). Upon issuing it, Q explains "in the event of a rebreather not being available, you can use this device." The gadget is used by Bond to escape a shark-infested tank, and an updated version is also used by Pierce Brosnan's Bond in Die Another Day (2002).
Provenance:
Purchased by the vendor at a memorabilia auction at Planet Hollywood, London, in 1998.
