It's a type of cap head screw.
First i want to give a big thanks to Roy for offering these great add ons for the TFA saber (just ordered the kobold D ring attachment, both versions of the clamp covers, and the transparent clamp cards this week!)
a quick question for Roy -
Are the grips offered on your site the short (maz box) version or the slightly longer hero 2 version??
Im aiming to make the Maz box version.
Btw, i agree with your assesment that the Wired saber is the Maz box saber....the main clue for me is that theres a pitting spot just below/right of the beer tab on the Wired pic.... and it seems to be present in the Maz box scene as well.
Ok, so i just went through all 124 pages of this thread. Lol

The proportions of drive socket to overall head width don't seem to quite right. The prop may be hex drive, it would really be great if Darth Saber could take another look soon.

Also looks like the torx may have been shaved down.
That makes sense. It's much easier to find pan head screws of the right diameter and anyone with a lathe can easily flatten them out like that.
Hey guys!
I've got an update on my transparent clamp cards.
The last batch in brass came out really, really well. The etching is very crisp now and I managed to get rid of all the tiny pinholes. The next step is to cut the board into individual clamp cards. I'm getting there! Next week I can show you pictures of the finished cards.

I also created my own clamp cover with cut groves instead of stamped ones. I prefer the look of cut grooves and went over some of the available images of the prop saber... Especially in the wired photos it looks like the grooves are cut into the cover. I also prefer the look because it looks a bit more defined.

@roygilsing what is the best way to clean off the clamp cover?
and the circuit board's color is almost white too
a closer look shows that there is a little screw/rivet near the top of the clamp:
