Judging from these photo's, Mark handled the saber more ways than one (bunny ears/tall shroud side pointing towards him).

Also, in one of the Pop Culture Quest promo vids (where he talks about comfort and handling), he grips the ROTJ clamp on the outside (fingers wrapped around it), suggesting that if that were the ESB version, the bunny ears would be facing him, not away from him.
I personally like bunny ears facing Luke. Makes more sense to me.

Where's this pic (188) from? Different ring AND, I hate to admit it, but those are 100% screws that are colored black.
Those first photos are of the ANH stunt which is just a tube with no graflex socket or bunny ears
and the first 3 pics are of the same saber. it is from a Christie's Auction where this was sold to a private collector. its painted silver, the grips are very thin and cut down and it has rivets in the clamp. Yep, those are black phillips heads too, and a riveted D ring using a plate of metal and not a Kobold.
