I think it may have been blued. The upright part was actually made for mounting and shooting. The cross bar was fabricated to get it on the side of the mauser for sw. Also the bottom half of the receiver was a switch out they painted too. My best guesswork

That's kind of what I thought and then I saw Nick's and questioned my thoughts.

OP UPDATED

It's been a while since I've updated this thread, but I added a couple of really cool blasters to the collection in the past few months, as well as made some major part upgrades to my real parts Obi-Wan (real female BP & nicer genuine sink knob), Vader MPP (A-grade vintage single step shroud), and to my vintage Luke Macro's (more accurate vintage lenses). I also managed to find all the necessary pieces to complete my EE-3 build, including another genuine MPP flashgun.

New photos are in the original post, with links posted underneath each prop with additional photos to keep the thread more organized and less cluttered. Enjoy!

Also, big shoutout to scottjua, SolosHold, teecrooz, Edraven99, OdiWan72, D48thRonin, and The Ninja for your help with my latest additions and upgrades!

Finally, my real parts EE-3 has come together. Beautifully assembled by scottjua of Crucible Custom Props.

As far as Scott and I know, this is the first EE-3 build with every possible found part that has been identified to date:

Real 1917 Webley No. 1 Mark 1
Real MPP Microflash
Real 4x20 Scope
Real V8 Connecting Rods
Real Molex Connectors
Real AM Ariel Plugs
... AND, last but not least, the recently discovered Unimax failsafe switches

A big thank you to scottjua, Edraven99, OdiWan72, intwenothor, and oneeyedgiant for helping me acquire all of these beautiful parts! This prop will be cherished for a long time.

Nice. We weren’t sure. I’ve seen one or two on TDH with the newly discovered Unimax switches, but they didn’t have an MPP.

The end of that scope is weird though, the body of the scope looks accurate, just the end is different, another close variation I guess.
