Custom Lightsaber

[Tyre]

I'm looking for the buyer of a custom lightsaber I sold quite a few years ago. It was originally sold to Luukesabers in around 2001-2002 and I got word from him that he in turn sold it about 4 years ago to somebody from the RPF. It was a custom job done by Larbel based on my design. If you're the buyer and are out there please drop me a PM! Saber looks very similar to the model posted below.

Hmm...you can always have it re-made instead of looking for the owner....

I like it! I love how the activation plate is by the emitter. I never seen that before. best of luck.

thanks! yeah it was a really cool hilt. Unfortunately finding someone to build it at Larbel's prices would be impossible and from what I understand he's out of the business.

Well, to be more accurate, he went out of business as an unlicensed saber maker because he was, um... persuaded to come work for Master Replicas instead. And then they eventually went out of business. Wish he'd start his own business back up again, but I rather doubt he could. I imagine Lucasfilm Legal is keeping a close eye on him.

As for matching his prices... I seriously doubt even LARBEL could make a custom saber today for what he sold it for a decade ago. Metals have gone way up in price during the current economic downturn. The raw materials would cost him more now, and he'd have to pass those costs onto the buyer.

Haha...but you didn't try asking me what I'll charge for another remade of this saber

That is a very cool design. Post pics if you get another made.
