Skywalker Graflex ANH - correct D ring clip?

[Kylo1]

Hi all. I have been around long enough to know that there were a few versions of this saber and also D ring clip set ups. What is the consensus between Romans and Roys to be the most screen accurate and to which versions of lightsaber?

Roys and Romans

Somebody should make Guidebook for lightsabers that puts all these details in one place.

Roy's updated blueprint at Goodies | WannaWanga has the two-rivet clip. He's taken the single rivet blueprint down.

The photo I posted was from the movie, just after Luke turns the saber off.

There's also the photo of Ben and Luke looking out off the bluff down at Mos Eisely. In that photo you can see all four side rivets, and some of the d-ring. Unfortunately, most versions of it out there are cropped above the saber.

One of the times in my life that I was in total shock, all those years seeing that photo and not knowing of that huge discovery

I mean... they were also visible in the toe pic promo photo set. RIGHT THERE.

Thanks alot! .....and for 42 years I thought I knew this saber inside and out!!!!!

I still question whether or not the larger rivets are actually rivet washers?

Could you explain? I'm not very familiar with rivets, their varieties, and accessories.
