Found two more pics, but I am not sure you can tell much do to the low res.

The second picture shows one of the hinges. I have looked all over the net for more pics and just cant find anything else.
I want to make this in the worst way! I really like the measurements you came up with.
I've been working real late hopefully if I come home early tonight I'll take a picture of my mothers great great grand fathers sea captains chest
though the chest is much larger then TFA chest it's the first thing I thought of when seeing it on screen
another thing I liked was the visual dictionary said the saber was in the box with a historic sextant the early space explorers used. that really makes me think of it being a "sea(space) captains chest"
I can't wait to see your progress. anyone here with 3D printing skills who would like to tackle making the latch/lock mechanism?

As i dont want to take over the thread with loads of screenshots :lol here's my progress so far:

I decided it would be easier to 3d model and scale the latch onto a box; so I made a rough box shape.
Its slightly smaller compared to what previous posts suggest as it didn't look right when I overlayed the original image.
(I still think its slightly too tall)
Dimensions (in metric:rolleyes):
Width:400mm
Depth: 203.2mm
Height: 180mm
I will now have a go at scaling the width back up to 20 inches as described in the first post.

i could have a go at 3D modelling the latch based on the dimensions in this thread
I did some looking around at the lock protrusions and it could be something else, but I think it may be a cut down Victor acetalyne torch tip with a washer added to it. This could prove difficult to make, the brass/copper will but easy enough to cut down, but securing the washer could be tricky.
