ANH Vader Stunt Lightsaber

Looks like a countersink hence the flat edges.
EDIT:The flat edge may be due to the square collar not being machined all the way around the bottom.
Could still be a counter sunk screw though. Head looks flat and too wide for a set screw.

can you explain this? I don't know what it means
Made a mold and inside of filling it solid, you pour alittle resin in and “slush” it around, some people have machines that spin it around all axis to try and make the coating evenly
This makes a “shell” and leaves the model hollow
In the right most photo here, you can see a grip missing. near the back of the saber, could be the same one missing today

Could be. Just going off what has been 'standard' attachment method throughout. Great stills Kurtyboy. Outstanding spotting thd9791.
I'm doing this in 2 posts

Cave Scene
Looks like an MPP with little or no grips. That black dot doesn't appear in every frame, so I can't count that as a bolt (see my ESB Core Graflex thread for a big update!)
It would appear the MPP Bladed Stunt got a LOT of screen time in the bespin duel as well.
Is this a stunt handle?
I also see the Barbican in the scene where luke is hanging from the ceiling
and for good measure I took my own:

(not sure what's happening in that attachment)
If you're digging through ESB beware of the 7 gripped lightsaber! It appears to be the ANH Luke stunt complete with graflex clamp and endcap. Vader and Luke both use it
And Luke uses it on the catwalk, when he's pinned down.
Although, in the lower shot I almost see a D ring thingy. And 7 grips. Any ideas?
Here, Vader is using it I think. Luke's graflex has the bunny ears towards us, and that lower dark mark is just Gaff tape on the upper clamp I think.
Anyways, back to the ANH Vader Stunt saber! I can't believe it's technically in all 3 OT movies in some form...

The 7 grip one is prob the ANH shared stunt, right? We see it a lot in ESB BTS images. I also think it could be the ROTJ MoM Vader.
And like the stunt Graflex, the stunt MPP had the fat grips. They seem to fall off, because there are a couple shots with one missing. Also, when Vader speaks to the Emperor, the fat grip stunt is being used as a belt hanger.

Decided to work in the park today and pulled out my laptop-- which I hven't used in awhile. Somebody sent me this still from some video clip on youtube. I forgot who sent it to me and that I was going to put it in the guide. (good thing I'm making corrections!)
Prowse with the Luke/Vader shared stunt...
If you sent me this image and I wasn't supposed to share it, PM me. I generally put not safe for public images in a director so I keep them away-- but this one was just on my desktop.

That’s the controversial video of prowse talking about james Earl Jones
I do remember this video. And remember the graflex but not to this detail
I don’t remember the top section painted black...
Wonder when this was filmed.. had to be before rotj
Never noticed that!!
Excellent find Tom! I never noticed the retired motorized stunt in action on screen in ESB
When we see the ANH stunt in the ESB BTS images, the black tip is gone. But looking at this now... the ANH stunt didn't have a beer tab or rabbit ears and this thing does... and I think I see the slide switch.
The clamp is hard to read, especially knowing how big Prowse's hands are.
There's pics of it and Vader with the fat-gripped stunt as a belt hanger in the guide book ya know.
