You mean am I going to go ahead and weed all of them for you?
No. Sorry.
No. Sorry.
Just was doing some more reading on these blasted Luke RotJ sabers and I ran across this post from @Zombie Killer back in 2013. Better pics of the "Barge" hilt.
There are no doubts as to the authenticity of this piece. You need to go back to post #625 on page 25 of this thread and read on from there. But there you'll find this link, containing a video:

It's not that strange that we don't have better copies of these photos. The prop belongs to a private collector who can share (or not share) photos as he pleases. He's showed enough to prove its authenticity, with detailed comparison shots. I imagine these photos may get published someday, we just may have to wait a while. Then we'll be all, "Oooo, the color!" and "Ooo, the lever!" and "Ooo, the mystery chunk!"
Blowing the image up, I don't think it can be the V2 because at this point, not only was the V2 all black, but the V2 had the mystery chunk and the transcriptor knob added, as well as maintaining the long lever, and in this photo, near the third pommel cube from the d-ring, we would've seen not just the mystery chunk, but the transcriptor knob as well. "They could've been removed", one might say but even if that were so, there'd still be a discernible hole where the chunk would've gone into, right above the pommel cube. This doesn't have that. However, if this were the Shared Stunt, the hole would be on the first pommel cube to the left of the d-ring, just out of sight from us.
IMO people who aren't willing to post pictures shouldn't speak about the authenticity of an item. I have no respect for such collectors (hoarders).
He's the guy at the stoplight with the Enzo... we're the jackasses with the Pintos revving our engines. He literally has nothing to prove.
For your viewing pleasure

check out the emitter paint jobs, and remember the neck of the barge saber has brass on the windvane and a thick black upper neck, maybe covered in tape. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe not.
