If you're on the search for your own license to kill, the Walther air pistol from the James Bond film "From Russia with Love" is headed to auction on December 12. The iconic pistol once sold for  $437,501 back in 2010, and is expected to fetch a much higher price this go around. Interestingly enough, the Walther PPK automatic was supposed to be featured in all shoots promoting the film but someone misplaced it on set and Sean Connery was forced to improvise with the use of the air pistol (pictured above). Despite its misrepresentation, photos were never airbrushed, and the item remains one of the most prized pieces from the "007" archives.
