My opinion is probably not worth much because whenever I look at the photo of Luke holding the blaster, I've always seen two separate parts.
To me, it looks like the top "nut" fits on top of a smaller diameter washer. To me there is no split between knurled and straight sides. To me it looks like a rounded nut with knurling from top to bottom.
Something like this:
It has always seemed to me that when building a prop, you would choose to use what was available before machining a custom nut. Since these exist already (Rounded Thumb nut), it seems like they would have just grabbed one of these from the hardware drawer.
Try as I might, I just can't convince myself that I am seeing a single nut, with straight sides and angled top. So, I've pretty much kept out of the conversation because others don't seem to see what I'm seeing.

I didn't want to say anything with this project so far along, but after looking at all the reference photos tonight and messing with some settings, there are time that to me it looks like the part of the knob right under the knurling is recessed.

Sorry to get off track on the knob subject, but I have been looking at it on my wall and decided to scan it tonight. It's from my OP 11x14 photo. My apologies if it has been posted previously. From looking closely as possible at this photo I see one of this distributor pieces, but I do not see anything covering the Mauser logo. That doesn't mean something didn't fall off though.
the MR was wrong... in lots of ways.
and yes... there is no other greeblie on the Luke blaster aside from the possible distributor piece
I'm ok with new drawing.
As for Hoth (new window for huge):

I´m sorry, but after the ANH parts debacle i´m no longer interessed in posting any what or why, to improve other peoples sales.
Once i thought it´s about sharing, but i learned that most people hold back their "super secret infos", and are majorly interested in getting sales numbers. Or maybe to feel more special......
I would see it different if every outcome/measurements from such a group effect would be completely displayed to the community that helped to get them - but i don´t see that happen. It´s usually more "let us all work on it - and then i start a run" thing.
