This is a clapperboard from the production of Octopussy (Eon Productions/ MGM). It shows the film's title and space for the slate and take number, together with a strip of white tape which has written on it in black marker pen '3rd Oct 1982'.

Clapperboards for James Bond films very rarely surface.

This is the thirteenth film in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and the sixth to star Roger Moore as James Bond. It was directed by John Glen, and also stars Maud Adams and Louis Jourdan.

PROVENANCE:

The clapperboard was originally gifted by a member of the film's production team.
