Re: Nice score: Original MPP for £40
Hi Marcus,
Thanks for your quick reply. It's hard to tell but it looks just a bit bigger and smoother then mine ... still not as big as the Larbel in my pictures. Mine is about 1.0 mm wide and quite uneven. BTW I noticed yours has the rectangular blackbars and the grey button and mine has the trapazoid black sidebars and the black button. Like the famous Sherlock Holmes I'm trying by deduction to find out which MPP has the thicker shroud and from what I've gathered sofar it seems that yours might be the one :love albeit not as thick as the Larbel. So depending on the year of manufacturing it has either the thinner or the thicker edge. One more inquiry : Could you tell me the number that is right under the shroud if you unscrew the top button and also if the top button is dead on the center or just a bit to the right?
Of course it is also still possible that the MPP's with silver sidebars (rectangular/trapazoid) have the even more thicker edged shroud. Anyone with a real silver sidebars MPP on this board? Please enlighten me :confused
Thanks for your assistance,

Re: Nice score: Original MPP for £40
One of mine had black trapezoidal sidebars (ESB style) and the other has rectangular silver sidebars(ANH style). The MPP nameplates are also very different (different fonts, type size).
My black sidebar flash has a 1603 under the shroud and a red "S" above the nameplate. 2-step shroud.
The silver sidebar has no number under the shroud and the "S" is black. This one came with the correct 1-step shroud. I believe it's the older of the two because it has no number and the nameplate is not as nice (type is somewhat crude).
Both have the larger "B" portholes and the black endcap insert with 3 rings.

OK Thanks Tyderium, that helps a lot uncovering the mystery of the MPP :love BTW rectangular or trapazoid silver sidebars? Could you post some pictures of your MPP here, please?
I want to gather as much reference pics and info as possible hence those of us who are looking for a specific Vader MPP will know which questions to ask (on ebay) and/or what to pay close attention to when able to purchase one in person.

Sweet. :cool
Me thinks i need to have not only eyes for blasters - maybe a few OT sabers would be nice to own, too? :confused

Most of us started with the Luke Skywalker lightsaber, you started with the Han blaster!
Yes, you definitely need to have at least a Luke, Obi and Vader ANH in your collection. And I don't mean a cheapo MR, start collecting the parts and five years from now you'll be done!

Nice!
I managed that twice too, but neither of mine have the right shrouds.
