It looks like the ESB dueling saber with the blade removed, not the hero version worn on the belt.
Nice pic either way.

Re: ROTJ Vader light sabre
Awesome pic! I'm astounded that an MPP based saber still exists in the archives. There was a thread recently which confirmed that the MPP saber was around for ROTJ--at least in some publicity photos. The graflex based saber is generally thought to be one of the stunt sabers from ROTJ which traces its lineage back to Luke's ESB stunt at the very least.
Where did you take that picture?
I say it again--Awesome!

I find the screws in the grips interesting.

Or they could be just nail holes left from when the tracks were installed as cabinet door railings? :confused

What you see is a crack in the plastic.
I still stand by my statement that an MPP was used in the final duel. It might just have been this saber.
IT ... IS ... NOT ... RUBBER ! :rolleyes

Re: ROTJ Vader light sabre
If it's not the actual dueling saber from ESB, it's made up to look like it.
All the ESB sabers with blades had the screws, including Lukes Graflex dueling version. It's a different screw then the SRS, but very close.
Also, all the marks or lack of paint on the shroud is from the other blade striking during the fight sequences.
I have pics somewhere, I could post if you guys wanted to see them.

Re: ROTJ Vader light sabre
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's no dueling saber. That's THE ESB/ROTJ Hero prop!!!!
THE saber seen in all those ESB (red background) and ROTJ (white background) publicity stills. It's also the saber Vader wears during the carbon freeze chamber scenes.
I'm amazed it's still around.
We NEED more pics of this!!
This is the best example of a Darth Vader lightsaber ever. Most likely this was one of the original ANH sabers converted for ESB and then used in ROTJ.
It doesn't get any better than this.
