Looks like the makers based a cap pistol on the 'From Russia With Love' images featuring the LP53!

I wonder if the makers knew they were copying an air pistol that Bond was only holding in the publicity shots due to a props mistake?!Originally Posted by Josie & John

A very keen eye to spot that one, John.
Never seen or heard of an LP53 inspired capgun before. Most interesting.

I suspect this was probably the case Danny. Not a bad effort if all they had to go on were publicity photos.
