If anyone still wants a Billy Reid pea coat, they are doing a second run. This will likely be the last lot though. It is back ordered and delivery will be next year:

The ID *SHOULD* say Major Geoffrey Boothroyd.

End rant. :lol
Very nice ID card. :thumbsup

Kurtyboy's is true to the original though. The original prop maker messed it up!
The only one who should have their code title is M. Never named in the novels or films.

Novels
Fleming's third Bond novel, Moonraker, establishes M's initials as "M**** M*******"[7] and his first name is subsequently revealed to be Miles. In the final novel of the series, The Man with the Golden Gun, M's full identity is revealed as Vice Admiral Sir Miles Messervy KCMG;[8] Messervy had been appointed to head of MI6 after his predecessor had been assassinated at his desk.[9]
A naval theme runs throughout Fleming's description of M and his surroundings, and his character was described by journalist and Bond scholar Ben Macintyre as "every inch the naval martinet".[8] Macintyre also notes that in his study of Fleming's work, Kingsley Amis outlined that way Fleming had described M's voice, being: angry (three times); brutal, cold (seven times); curt, dry (five times); gruff (seven times); stern, testy (five times).[10]
Over the course of twelve novels and two collections of short stories, Fleming provided a number of details relating to M's background and character. In On Her Majesty's Secret Service it is revealed that M's pay as head of the Secret Service is £6,500 a year, (£101,396 in 2012 pounds[11]) £1,500 of which comes from retired naval pay.[12] Although his pay is good for the 1950s and 1960s, it is never explained how M received or can afford his membership at Blades, an upscale private club for gentlemen he frequents in London to gamble and dine. Blades has a restricted membership of only 200 gentlemen and all must be able to show £100,000 (£1,559,944 in 2012 pounds[11]) in cash or gilt-edged securities.[13] Kingsley Amis noted in his study, The James Bond Dossier, that on M's salary his membership of the club would have been puzzling.[12] As a personal favour to M, the staff at Blades keeps a supply of cheap red wine from Algeria on hand but does not include it on the wine list. M refers to it as "Infuriator" and tends only to drink it in moderate quantities unless he is in a very bad mood.[14]
Academic Paul Stock argues that M's office is a metonym for England and a stable point from which Bond departs on a mission, whilst he sees M as being an iconic representative of England and Englishness.[15]
In the first post-Fleming book, Colonel Sun, M is kidnapped from Quarterdeck, his home, and Bond goes to great lengths to rescue him.[16] The later continuation books, written by John Gardner, retain Sir Miles Messervy as M, who protects Bond from the new, less aggressive climate in the Secret Service, saying that at some point Britain will need "a blunt instrument".[17] In Gardner's final novel, COLD, M is kidnapped and rescued by Bond and finishes the book by retiring from MI6.[18] Continuation Bond author Raymond Benson's 1998 novel The Facts of Death continued Messervy's retirement, where he still resides in Quarterdeck.[19] The book also introduces a new M, Barbara Mawdsley.[20]
Oooo... I've been Wiki'd! :facepalm

It's hard to ID from that shot but I would definitely say that it could be the Galco Executive Shoulder Holster. If not, it should atleast be very close. I could definitely see Bond wearing Galco.Has or can anyone ID Bond's shoulder holster? I know we don't see it in the film but was hoping someone might know.
Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters
And another shot to aid in a potential id.
This shot appears to be a different shoulder rig system entirely than the one one on the above picture of Daniel Craig.

Oh. Well then that's different from the one in the picture you posted it. There's no part of the actual holster visible in that picture, do you perhaps have another shot with the holster showing or the back side?
The shoulder holster in the shot of the stuntman or whoever that is in the second picture is a different holster than the one Craig is wearing in the original picture you posted.

Are you sure it's different? The stunt man is sitting at a weird angle so it's hard to tell where the strap goes. I haven't found any other pictures yet.
I know Bond reloads a few magazines, does anyone remember where he was pulling them from (waist or under the arm)?

Definitely two different rigs. On the stunt one the strap over the shoulder remains thin while on the hero it gets thicker.
Hmmm dunno then
I'm trying to remember where he pulls mags from because that might give us a better idea of what kind of rig he is wearing. Does anyone have the "On The Set" book?

They are in his suit pocket just saw it again
Any ideas what cut throat he uses
So we might be looking at just a single holster with no mag pouches on the other side.
Cut throat?

The best I could find of Patrice's Sniper rifle/case. Hopefully someone will hit the museum up to get some good pictures of it.
