He was using a Beretta which M took from him and replaced with Ian Fleming’s iconic choice of firearm in “Dr. No.” The Hollywood Reporter typist who wrote this up must have never seen a Bond film, leaving out the “K” in “PPK” twice. Got $250k to bid on it?

Actually the reporter was correct. In the film doctor know it was indeed the Walther PP and not the Walther PPK he was given. They said it was the PPK but it was actually a PP.
So rather than referring to Fleming or the movie she was reading from the auction house catalog listing? Entirely possible with a “prop gun.”
