Is the Roman's Empire Darth Maul saber most accurate?

Zenkai's would have been, but the machinist/he neglected to mill in the little "pockets" between the red and silver buttons. It was easy for me to fix because I have access to a shop, but left untouched, it's a GLARING error. Go with the RE.
Or you can wait for me to do my run. 
I've got measurements, unpublished archive photos, and am working on blueprints. I'll probably be doing this saber after I'm done with my current Anakin run, unless there's a huge public outcry for a particularly different saber.

Can't seem to find the link for your Anakin run.

Dude, if you do the DM, you might as well tweak a few odds and ends and run off a Plo Koon at the same time...

We need more affordable, accurate council sabers...just saying.
Oh, I agree completely. I just saw a Larbel council saber on eBay last night with a STARTING bid of $900! Believe me, I plan on having a complete council set for my collection, and I'm sure I'll make them all myself. Korbanth makes some really rockin' sabers too at good prices, but I don't know if he has or is planning any council sabers.

For an accurate lightsaber at a good price I can wait. When you do your run of Darth Maul sabers I wonder if someone will do a run of display cases.
Not really. The biggest problems with ALL the Maul saber out there is the silver knurled knob, and the thing that almost looks like a set screw in a washer next to the LEDs. The emitters are another thing as well. At least from what I remember when I was still into SW and Maul.
Also the emitter you see in that pic you posted above was CG'd into the shot. The hero saber does not have that emitter. You can verify this with any photos you can find from either SWC3 or any exhibit where the Maul hero (usually labeled DM-S 001 near the first o-ring on the saber) can be found.

Yeah, the silver knurled knobs should have a radius on them, making it a kind of semi-dome in profile. The greeblie next to the LEDs really is just a domed hex machine screw in a washer. A lot of people don't want to believe that for some reason, but it really is true. I've seen it with my own eyes. And yeah, no one has totally nailed the emitters 100% correctly yet.
I haven't been able to find any photos of the Darth Maul lightsaber on exhibit, can someone point me in the right direction or maybe post some pix?
