Inherited this a few yrs ago, played with it and then put it away. Just found it again and thinking about selling it. Anyone know it's value. Googled it and see that it was used by James Bond in his promotional pics. It's in exc condition and comes with 2 sets of front/rear sights, cleaning rod and wooden cocking aid. Spring is still super strong. Case has a blue velvet liner. Tx for any help.

My wife has the exact same one minus the case from when she was doing competitive air pistol shooting in her teens. There's a collector's market for these vintage quality airguns and especially for this one since it was James Bond's airgun so it appeals to James Bond collectors as well! It may sounds crazy but I've seen them go for $600+ in mint condition complete with case, tools and manual.
 
For what it's worth, the Blue Book of Airguns, Tenth Edition lists the LP 53 at $350 for one in 95% condition; add 35% for fitted case, blue and gray inside. Perhaps a Bond film fan would pay more.
