Something different this time \u2013 A scene from a movie classic: The Man with the Golden Gun from 1974<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scene does not look like a movie set, but as if it was filmed in a real shop rented for filming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right on entry, we can see a Boley lathe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second picture gives a better view on the FP1 \u2013 It could also be an Alexander \u201cMaster Toolmaker\u201d (https:\/\/www.lathes.co.uk\/alexander\/<\/a>) since large parts of the movie where filmed in the UK and Alexander being a British Company making a copy of the Deckel FP1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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