I love it El! Beautiful box.
Maybe you should weather the brass pins a bit; just stick the whole upper part in a jar with some ammonia for half an hour.
I can finally say this is finished!
Looks Splendid, congrats! Perhaps you could be of some assistance, I have machined 4 of my own sabers thus far and have turned my attention to Obi's ANH.

I have posted same question in multiple threads but no luck so far!

I have seen those however they were created prior to knowing the actual parts in 2005, most of the dimensions were retrospectively assumed from pics meaning that they are not accurate.
That is why I've been trying to engage those who have original parts sabers to help me out by providing dimensions where poss
