Frequently Asked Questions

• 1. Are your James Bond props and costumes authentic?

  Yes, every screen-used prop or costume we offer at Kudos Memorabilia is 100 percent authentic. Each item is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Kudos Memorabilia and, when available, supported by additional provenance—such as documents from the studio, auction house, production tags, letters of authenticity, or a trusted third-party authenticator.

• 2. What’s the difference between screen-used and replica props?

  Screen-used props are genuine items used during the actual filming of a movie, often showing unique wear or markings visible on screen. Replica props are recreations that were not used in production, typically made for collectors or display purposes. Screen-used items are significantly more valuable due to their direct connection to the film.

• 3. How do I know which film the item is from?

  Each listing includes the title of the film, year of release, and any available details about the scene or character associated with the item. Many pieces can even be screen-matched to specific moments in the movie.

• 4. Do you provide provenance or documentation?

  Absolutely. Every item sold by Kudos Memorabilia comes with comprehensive provenance, including a COA and, when applicable, documentation from the original studio, reputable auction houses, on-set tags, authenticity letters, or verification from third-party experts.

• 5. Can I view the item in person before purchasing?

  Yes, where possible, private viewings can be arranged by appointment. If you're seriously interested in a particular item, please contact us to discuss viewing options. We’re happy to provide detailed photos, videos, and provenance documents in advance to assist with your decision.

• 6. How often do you add new Bond memorabilia?

  Our collection is updated regularly, especially after major studio releases, industry auctions, and private acquisitions. Be sure to subscribe to our mailing list or follow us online to stay informed about our latest arrivals.

• 7. Can you help source a specific item or character prop?

  Yes, we offer a bespoke sourcing service. If you're searching for something specific—whether a certain actor’s costume, a rare Bond gadget, or a screen-matched prop—our team will use its industry connections to help you find it.

• 8. Do you ship internationally?

  Yes, we offer fully insured international shipping. We work with trusted couriers to ensure every item arrives safely and securely. Shipping options and prices are available at checkout, and may vary depending on the item's size, value, and destination. If you require a custom shipping solution, feel free to contact us directly.

• 9. Are these items a good investment?

  Many screen-used props and costumes increase in value over time, particularly those linked to iconic scenes, key characters, or legendary Bond actors like Sean Connery, Roger Moore, or Daniel Craig.

• 10. What is a screen-matched prop?

  A screen-matched prop is one that can be clearly identified on screen by comparing unique features, such as wear patterns, markings, or damage. At Kudos Memorabilia, when an item is screen-matched, we provide visual references and documentation to support the match, further enhancing its collectible status.
