I recently purchased a hero fx bladed Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill screen used lightsaber from The Last Jedi. I am slightly concerned that just a COA from heritage auctions is not enough provenance for this screen used prop? Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill or should I be 100% comfortable with completing the purchase? Link to the auction/lightsaber below. Thank you in advance for your help/suggestions.
Is Heritage Auctions COA for screen used FX Lightsaber enough provenance?

Well I’ll be… sure enough at one time he’s using the dang thing
right away I jumped on it because the saber he takes off his belt has a glass eye that has had the knurling removed.. the auction saber’s glass eye still has its knurling..
They swamped stunts out and sure enough you can see above the stunt you’re referring to, and below is the stunt with the knurling missing glass eye

Can you share more photos--of the bottom and of the blade holder?
I don't doubt it's real. But for your investment, you'll want to get as much provenance as possible. Where did it come from. Who from production put it up for auction? How did they obtain it?
Heritage sells a lot of genuine items. But they also have sold a lot of fakes. So their name alone is not enough to prove it's authenticity. I'd do more homework so that you can assure the value of your investment.

Hated the movie, but A REAL STUNT LIGHTSABER USED BY LUKE IN A MOVIE!!! I'd sell my soul for that!! I probably wouldn't get enough for my soul to buy it though.
