Great story and awesome detective work.
Thanks for sharing the tale.
I never would have stumbled onto this discovery.
So, is the former “Mystery Chunk” now the “Wellies Chunk”??

What I said was really a tongue-in-cheek humorous observation, not a serious statement (but my comedic tone didn’t come through in text)
I believe he has yes.
Think I'm still gonna wait more for the dust to clear. Besides, my old chunk is super glued in and it's a solid body hilt, so there's going to be some surgery involved with this.
Having said that, the chunks are being graded, which seems like a really good way to differentiate, but my question is this:
A Grade is the least worn, which makes sense. BUT: Is A grade the most accurate? Is a little bit more wear more accurate? I'm curious what people are going for. It may or may not be the case that A is actually "better". Sure it is for those that lean more towards idealized. But some of the best V2's I've seen look like they've been put through the ringer some. My own is SLIGHTLY idealized...I went full 'wear and tear' on the paint and gaffer tape, but I didn't actually physically beat up the body of the hilt. )
Curious what people think.

Hair dryer works awesome, hit it with some heat and she’ll come right out
Thanks! Will try that.
Honestly works amazing

Letting go most of my passion for this hobby has made me much more relaxed for this stupid stuff and involved parts. 
Obvisiously my saber is no original but a good but 100% replica machined one. So i don´t care or take any action before i see a nice replica with a 5mm threading.
There are parts i like to have as originals, sometimes even more than one to display them build and original - but a shoe-nail is none of them.

Oh boy, if only you knew!
Never mind levers, how about that circuit board clamp card? It’s got such a unique pattern it’s surprising no ones spotted one yet.
This is the closest I’ve found. Replica on the saber and a real card that isn’t exact.
