Welp, I now have a fresh TGS bottom can, and grips/plentiful rivets/d-ring from Roy. Gonna wait awhile to see if any new evidence comes to light regarding the rivets and/or the bottom stamping orientation.

My current bottom tube is perfectly fine as an idealized piece, so the swappable, screen-accurate version can wait a bit.

 

[R5D4]

Don’t forget Roy is working on the new screen accurate grip placement as well so these ANH replicas can really match the hero prop.

Wow, $181,000+ USD! Would love to know who got it. I wonder if they were a member of the RPF.

Oh yeah. I almost forgot

Wow! Imagine how much a screen used saber would go for then. Easily over a million, probably 2 or 3. Even 10 million wouldn't shock me.

 

[Gregatron]

While the rivet sizes are still arguable—although I’m agreeing more and more with Roy—it looks like the bottom stamping is gonna be the final unicorn of this prop. There’s gotta be a way!

Just imagine how much the screenused hero would go for, if it ever actually turned up. And NOT one of Roger Christian’s. I’m thinking somewhere around seven figures.

Oh given this incentive, I have no doubt that someone will take a swing at trying to throw up a purported hero hilt for auction in the very near future....

Wait, new grip placement too? How did I miss that??

Uneven spacing. Nothing dramatic.

I don't think it's new grip placement I think Roy is (hopefully) working on a jig that will allow screen accurate positioning of the grips.

I have to say, now that I have Roy's rivets in hand, they aren't anywhere as intrusive in person as they look in blown out photos.

Photography can really make things stand out a lot more than they would on film and in person. Same thing happened to me. I wasnt supper excited about the rivets until I got them in hand.

I got a order from roy soon...

He is working on a blueprint that matches how the grips were placed on the actual hero prop. Unlike how everyone else was doing it by spacing them equally apart.

to be real...imagine how th ose people that bough t the Kurtz/Joiner ;sabers; feel now ........ now that they know they bought fakes for more Pounds.

 

[SethS]

The Kurtz saber at the EMP in Seattle is still proudly on display, and the one at Ripley's has a note on its placard about it's providence being in question.

Exactly...
