Pair of cultured pearl set cufflinks previously owned by James Bond author Ian Fleming, estimated at £800-1200 at Mallams.

The Jewellery & Watches sale at Mallams Oxford on November 17 includes an intriguing pair of cultured pearl set cufflinks previously owned by James Bond author Ian Fleming. He is thought to have worn them to the post-screening party for the Dr No premiere in 1962.

The letters engraved to the back of each panel (WUSSILUDH and NUF) are thought to be a code, although one apparently yet to be solved. The Fleming estate has been unable to elaborate on it.

A gift to the vendor by a member of Fleming’s extended family, they come for sale with an estimate of £800-1200. View these pearl set cufflinks via thesaleroom.com.
