Geez, Chaïm! All of your posts make me drool :love
you really know how to upset a man and force him into a corner wondering when he will ever become worthyEventhough I had received my vintage handwheel from kurtyboy ... I still kept on checking ebay regularly and low and behold I did finally tracked another 'C' AS handwheel down in ... Germany ... for far less I might add and I could not resist the purchase

Then ... when I finally had the opportunity to get a converted Balance Pipe ... it came with yet another vintage AS handwheel as part of the deal :

. . . now this one is rather unique, as parfaitelumiere pointed out to me, . . . it's supposed to have a metal endcap ... and as you can see the Armitage Shanks text is positioned in an arc above the 'C' ... so now you guess which one is finally going to make it onto my all real parts OB1lightsaber with this vintage G R A F L E X case D-ring?

Go on rub it in, you just have to keep prodding and poking but it's ok I'm not in the corner anymore, I've gone into the kennels with my faithful dogs, as they won't tell me to stop sobbing !!! Not like my wife ( she's hidden the credit card ) !!!!! One day oh yes one day I will have an all original vintage kinobi saber :rolleyeshttp://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz258/Sym-Cha/chromeplatedAShandwheels.jpg
@Bengrim09 I'll bet you'll find another bathroom filled with goodies such as seen above some day soon... or won't you?
For now I just wonder which handwheel is older, or more vintage, ... with the text straight under the 'C' or over in an arc?
