Set of parts and props from "James Bond's" iconic Goldfinger Aston Martin DB5 with accompanying documentation. Goldfinger, the 3rd installment in the "James Bond" franchise, cemented Sean Connery's fate as inextricable from the title character he played so well.

Here is an incredible collection of props, parts and paper documentation from the legendary film car. Including: (2) Steel prop Browning .30 caliber machine gun barrels, which were retractable and mounted behind the front lights of the car, (1) Rotary dial telephone and handset prop from the car, (2) Prop location beacons, that doubled as mirrors on the car, (1) Original tool bag, complete with wrenches and other tools from the car (plastic handle on screwdriver deteriorated).
