Help me ID my new Obi saber

Maybe it is one of Larry's, but there are a few things that seem different to me from what I thought I knew about his sabers.

The pommel cubes are individual pieces and they insert into actual square holes in the pommel as the means of attachment. On my old Larbel, these were all attached to a ring.

Also, the raised section above the grip but below the emmiter seems a little inacurate: it doesn't drop off at a steep angle on the grip side, but has more of a trapezoid shape. Not sure if Larry altered that cut in light of info I never heard about. Most others, including MR have a gradual slope up to the raised section on the emmiter side, and then a much shorter drop off on the grip side.

Another detail that might be a give away of the artist is some engraving on the philips screw inside the covertec. It says: NAS 1101 E3

?
 
I don't think that's an HK style-O. I've owned 4 over the course of the prod of both the solid and the EL. I'm too lazy to take pics at the moment, but here are some tell tale signs....

HK
1 piece outer chrome body (emitter does not detach)
Cubes are machined 1 piece, not individual cubes.
Chrome center not removable, at least not easily.
Covertec knob was machined and not actual Covertec attached to saber with a screw.

Still a nice looking saber though.

And it doesn't get any more definative than that, boys and girls. ;)
 
Possibly a Parks with the EL removed or never installed? Though, I never saw one with the individual cubes. Very nice find.

Now there's a name I've not heard from for a long time...


Good to hear from you, Larry. :)
 
Thanks for chiming in, Larbel. Even though it's not one of yours, acquiring a fan made saber that had a lot of loving care put into it (especially a TPM O) really brings me back to that golden age when you were the man.
