I see some cover the V2 with tape. I'm going to use one of Roman's non-logo clamps

Why cover the logo? :confused
no tape on the V2, graflex can be seen in the scene where pappa ewok is holding it and demanding more logs be put on han solos fire pit
it can get confusing, when we refer to covering the v2 with tape. people may be referring to the emitter's neck. the v2 originally had a spinning emitter, they ditched the spinning blade setup for the rest of the movies but used the V2 for a lot of the sword fighting scenes still. in order to keep the emitter from spinning they used a piece of black gaffers tape.

Some may want to cover the logo because an in universe item would not have English text on it.
I assume it wasn't covered on the prop because they didn't think anyone would get a good enough look at it to see the text.
There are other examples of the clamp text being covered on the props.

Right, it wasn´t covered on the prop.

I don't know. To each their own, but I love the GRAFLEX logo being visible on my v2 from the second run. It just looks more authentic, to me.

I had originally thought that because of the Parts of Star Wars site, there was a strip of tape on the clamp of the V2. Then, I found a post here on the RPF (http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=1862&page=36 post #895 by Kurtyboy) that explains what was thought as a strip of tape was actually a video artifact from the days before HD.
So, two things:
1. Sorry to you all that I opened a can of worms that wasn't necessary.
2. Might as well get me a logo-less clamp from Roman. I feel like I should just mail him my next couple paychecks now that he might do an MPP.

I will be offering brand new clamp levers soon. A new batch is currently in production. ETA is somewhere in February.
@Anakin Starkiller Still a chance I can get in on this run?

It's basically a choice of recreating the prop or something more like what Luke may have actually used. Similar to cleaning up lumps or other issues with some of the helmets. Some like all of the flaws and others don't.

I know that.
When asking it the postings made me think people are believing it had to be done with some sort of tape, not due to personal preferencies but due to being accurate with it.
That´s what made me wonder.
I think he said he would be away till the 13th. Best to email him at the link he posted. (Sorry can't post links with my tablet ) it's back one page I think with the v2 in the address.I will be offering brand new clamp levers soon. A new batch is currently in production.

Oh, I never got the chance to thank you.
I have bought a bunch of parts for my sabers including the lever for this v2. Great stuff, and thank you
