I don't believe so, but it's been awhile since I've looked.

Chris, awesome stuff man!

I wish I had a bunch of unused canisters for the Microflame, I really wanna try mine out for real!

I have some unused canisters now!

If Chris cut away a real one we would tar and feather him!

You should try them out, see if your torch works!

Maybe I’ll see if I can use it on my Obi cutaway somehow. And my post was so I could get you some canisters.

So Romans Empire just released their new handwheels. These are by far the best replica ever made! The construction, finishing, and details are pretty much spot on. I know I’ll never have to look for another real one again. I didn’t have to before, but I still did just in case...

For those that were worried, I can tell them apart from a vintage but I’m a bit particular when it comes to the Obi-Wan lightsaber. Romans are actually nicer than the real ones, and there is little to no chance that there is 40 year old bathroom gunk to clean off these, so that’s a bonus.

Great comparison Chris, thanks for posting

 

[OdiWan72]

thanks!

I guess I've got another Roman's order in my future, those look great!

 

[eethan]

thanks for sharing, so yeah they are not exactly exactly similar, that's still going to be pretty darn hard to make sure on ebay pictures...

Good comparison photos, Chris.

 

[Halliwax]

Thanks for the comparison Chris !!

Doing some dusting earlier and laid out some Obi-Wan parts for a picture.

LOL, you *******! I was dusting off my spares earlier, fellas, and figured “what the hey, may as well take another snap of these things”... LOL.
Yep, you *******!

Are there deliberate tells on the RE handwheels?

Are there deliberate tells on the RE handwheels?

Visually - on the vintage ones, other than the fact that they look like they're brand freaking new (no 40 plus years of bathroom guck build up, & years of wear), not really. I think the internal metal parts were cast on the real ones, while Romans are milled. I mean, yes, if you had an original in one hand & a Romans in the other, & meticulously going over them both, yes. But if you were to turn your back while someone put both on a table, side by side, & turn around to pick which was which? You'd have a hard time. Check out Teecrooz's photo, a few posts up, of the two "cold" taps side by side.

the replica cubes seem to be sharper though no?

 

[Halliwax]

I think the cubes match identical
