Machinetools in movies – The Man with the Golden Gun

Something different this time – A scene from a movie classic: The Man with the Golden Gun from 1974

This scene does not look like a movie set, but as if it was filmed in a real shop rented for filming.

Right on entry, we can see a Boley lathe:

When Roger Moores character is aiming down range, we can see a what appears to be a Deckel FP1 on the left and an Oxy-Fuel setup along with a forge in the middle of the frame.

The second picture gives a better view on the FP1 – It could also be an Alexander “Master Toolmaker” (https://www.lathes.co.uk/alexander/) since large parts of the movie where filmed in the UK and Alexander being a British Company making a copy of the Deckel FP1.

While getting some information from Lazar, the gunsmith played by Marne Maitland, we can also see an Excel No.2 die filer.

The entire scene can be reviewed on Youtube:
