From what I can see, the cubes on the grenade are asymmetrical cut.

I've put some extra pics of the grenade to. Do we think it's the symmetrical cut grenade?

This looks great. I'm so partial to builds with weathered/relic grenades, I just love the way they always look. I think it's because the first build I really saw was Kurtyboy's (with James Kenobi's weathering/finishing) and it looks so great as an old looking piece.

The grenade looks more like the asymmetrical cut to me. The cuts look to turn at the end.

Thanks for the responses!

The grenade is a little bit further gone than I would have liked but you have to take what you can get these days. Saying that I prefer the tattier look to the pristine look.

I think there's a bit of rust under the finish but I'm happy enough with it.

I think it looks fantastic as well.
My 2 cents lean toward asymmetrical also, based on the shape of the end cube here:

So, who bought the Derwent Engine in Belgium?

can you post a link please? I didn't see that and I'm quite curious now!

 

[onderon]

The ad is not available anymore, they told me today they sold it already to a star wars fan

it was $4000

It can be still seen on Facebook

 

[eethan]

nice, a full one too!
do you know if they sold it a long time ago? I heard a long time ago already that the last one came from Belgium.

They must sold it this week. It was still available last week.

found it on google but the add is indeed gone. so much fun to see that on that small second hand website. I lived in Belgium 10 years and it's crazy to see that.

so, teecrooz did you buy this one

I saw this ad also, but my understanding is that this engine has the wrong variant BP and chambers.

I did not because it’s not the correct engine. I get sent many engine pictures which I gladly authenticate, but this one is wrong. I was sent this one by a few people...

ouch, that's awful if someone bought it.

Just because it was the wrong engine for Obi emitters, does that also mean its wrong for the flame tube/IG88 head? Maybe it was bought by some fanatical droid builders.
