Just came across this thread and it looks absolutely incredible. I’ll definitely be keeping track of this!
Bahaha, I thought that might be the case on the original v2.Each pommel cube is unique in size and shape, as are the widths of each groove and the angle of the sloping sides.
Yes! I've been looking at every single image in this thread and trying to figure it out. That's definitely how it looks to my eye. I think that most all of the replica V2's just use black on the entire paint scheme. Very few differentiate the more brown/dark gold color of the neck in favor of black.On the ANH version, is the top section more of a dark grey? It looks lighter than the black towards the bottom.

I remember looking at images on the v3 and seeing the unequal pommel cube gaps and widths but felt like if I mentioned it, it would probably become an extremely unpopular opinion.
I mean, remember how long it took people to admit the ESB saber didn't have rivets in the grips (Even though there are still deniers) and that the rings in the v2 were unevenly spaced? xD

I have been wondering for some time now, because of the unique ring structure toward the bottom, is the V3 a resin copy of the V2??
Could you elaborate who you're referring to? *Edit* ThanksThats not really true though.

The ring structure I am referring to can be seen in these two photos. The bottom set of rings is closer together than the rings above it. This is why I was asking if the V3 was a resin casting of the V2 or if it was another metal casting made from the same wooden buck that the V2 originated fromThe v3 and v2 are essentially twins but not quite. The v3 has a resin copy used for the r2-d2 launch in ROTJ.
Which unique ring structure are you talking about may i ask?
I know that the v3 pommel is 2 separate pieces, with the buttom piece that has been misaligned where as the v2 is a one piece pommel.
