Urn and box looks great.
However, I don't like the paperclip. Seriously, holding the paper "inserts" together like that, leaves marks on them. Better put them in an envelope or something like that... Just my two cents...
It is too much mate! People can adjust it like everyone prefer
What I mean is that putting these additional paperwork between a paperclip, leaves the mark of the paperclip in them or even scratches them if the paperclip moves during transport. You'll get this kind of damage:It is too much mate! People can adjust it like everyone prefer
I know it's nitpicking, but why not avoiding this, by just folding this paperwork into a papersheet and taping that up, for instance (if it doesn't fit a regular envelope)... Just a suggestion

I tape all paper props between two pieces of cardboard. Keeps them nice and safe. Just tape the cardboard on all four sides.

The first emperor of the Manchu dynasty arrived today.
It's a beautiful piece and as one has come to expect from Sarednab it emits quality of the highest calibre.
Thanks for yet another outstanding piece of Indy history my friend.
P.S - A quick word of warning regarding the evil paper clip. Be cautious upon removal.
Due to it's death grip and sharp tips when removing mine, I managed to pierce/tear the Club/Willie Scott flyer.
The tightness of the clip and the fine grade of the paper utilised for the flyer are a bad combination.
Also as TomVDJ suggested, the clip leaves an imprint in the flyer. Though all other accessories appear unscathed.

My urn is on it's way. Can't wait to add it to the rest of my indy display. Keep em' coming sarednab!
Picked up mine at the postal office. Good job on these. The urn is indeed a lot darker than Azuma's as seen on the pictures Sarednab posted. I also like the black box it came in much more than the blue one Azuma's urn came in. The boxes are exactly the same, except the colors.
The paperclip was indeed a bad idea to keep the paper props together. They were better just put in the envelope without the paperclip. I was able to remove the paperclip by just bending it open. Do not try to slide the papers out of it, or you risk damaging the flyer. Just take the two ends of the paperclip in front and on the back of the bundle, and bend it open. This is the best way to release the papers. Some of the picutures and the flyer did have some paperclip marks, so I ironed these out. Maybe good to let you guys know: don't use too much heat, since the print might come off. Don't know if these were laserprinted or inktjet printed, but both print methods are vurnable to heat. So if you iron them on too high temprature, you'll damage the print. Be carefull of that. I managed to iron out most of the paperclip marks, so all paper props look quite OK now. They just go into the envelope again, without the paperclip ;-)
Not too much to say about the urn itself. The pictures here give a pretty good idea of how it looks like. I also own Azuma's version, but don't really know which one I prefer... All depends on taste, I guess. One thing is sure, Azuma and Sarednab's version are the best I've ever seen. You can't go wrong with either one of them...
Update: I took the time to take some picks of the "complete package" from Azuma and Sarednab's urn, side by side. Azuma's version on this picture is the "Collector's" edtion. Bought it in 2011 and paid $277 for it (shipping included). Don't know the current price (if Azuma is still offering these to begin with. Since he worked so close together with Sarednab, I assume he has abandoned the urns, but I'm not sure).
And some close-ups of each set (sorry about the horrible tablecloth. I know it hurts the eyes, but my girlfriend liked it):
Content of the extra's is comparable. They both have more or less identical certificates, but Azuma's is a folded one (so two pages). Azuma's also have a metal plaque and a chinise coin included. Nice touches... Sarednab's set includes a lot more paper props (bill, postcards, theater program, extra pictures, etc... Both include a Willy Scott leaflet, map and Obi Wan matchbook, but with different designs.
Anyway, I love both sets and will also keep them both, since I'm such an Indy fan. If it was a prop from another movie, I'd probably select one set and sell off the other one, but the choise would be VERY difficult. Great job on both sets, guys!
