A few pics of my real parts OWK ANH saber.

[Anakin Starkiller]

With the recent OWK talk, I thought I'd show off a couple of work in progress pics of my OWK ANH saber. All the parts are originals except the booster which is one of Serafino's awesome replicas.

Let me know what you think. I'll post better pics when I'm done.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It is definitely a matter of "finding" not "affording" the parts for me.

The grenade--I bought on a mislabeled e-bay auction a while back and it was my biggest purchase. The emitter--I got for real cheap through a lucky break care of Andres, and the pommel--I stumbled upon when I went to take a leak at a restaurant in London:lol

Ah it IS "that" handwheel. :lol What a story that is. Little did it know people across the world were thinking about it, and that one day after several 'get aquainted' visits with Dan it would travel far away to a new home. :cool

VERY nice saber! All I have is the MR Obi. Wish I could get my hands on all the parts to make one as nice as that.

LOL. I feel bad for the guy who went to the bathroom after you!

Question: how often are real grenades (#3 MK1) on eBay? I haven't seen any in a while (unless I'm using an incorrect search string).

Nice! I'd love to see more pics of the balance pipe. Thats the only part I really dont have for my saber. I have a real balance pipe, but its not accurate.

They are cracking down on them. You can't get one into the U.S. anymore.

Most of the auction locations were in the U.K.

The U.S. is always taking away our fun!

Now that grenade has my heart racing!
Superb saber - I often wondered what happened with that 'handwheel in London' story!

Thanks, Howard. The grenade is a pretty one isn't she :lol

Pretty?
Hell, I'd marry her.
Any states out there where that's legal? :lol

I am thinking Vegas, and a prenup.

Wow that is nice.

Is there a found grenade closer than this? Looks dead on!:thumbsup

Hey Dan, I'm gonna have that saber body out to you next week. Shoot me an email when you get a chance.

Frag body’s very nice, though asymmetrical. The vane sleeve–there are closer ones. But it’s got good general proportions and good presence, I like it.
