i have been told by someone who's handled the prop it isn't a screw and is a chunk of metal jammed into the hole
totally wrong answer for the question LOL, BUT yes, the same guy who's handled it told me there is a hole under the emitter.
i like to call it the famous papa Japan Hole
I don't want to post the photo because it belongs to Chaïm, however this being the same emitter as the hero, the mystery hole looks to be in the spot.

See my post above this one... I answered those questions already.
Those aren't the words I'd use to describe him.Then again, I don't know him personally, so I avoid saying much about it at all.
I think it would be interesting to put SH's and AS's replicas next to the real deal - I feel there would be a lot of surprises. I have the SH replica, and I don't think it's especially accurate compared to AS's 2nd run, but a great effort based on the reference material at the time.
Going back a little bit in the thread, here's a potential little exercise... How many layers (winds) of gaffer's tape do people think are currently on the neck of the saber?

see im not very good with the V3.. i dont recall seeing a hole in the same location as the Japan hole on the V2. i know there was a hole near the pommel cubes on the V3, and i thought there was a hole on the V3's emitter but further down, on the taller part of the emitter closer to the neck actually
again i have many grey areas with the V3
I know this girl who will do that, but she charges a lot
just to recap

Yeah, that one.
Here is my hero based off Chaim's photos.
Notice the hole is in the same area as the one in question.

Do you agree the hole looks to be in the same spot?All pictures I have posted sofar are free to be used whenever appropriate because most of them are just collected from the interwebs by me ... even those photographs of details and usually accompanied by my name and © credited as my own are still available to all of being re-used as well

It could just be the angle/quality of the photo, but I had always heard the top of the emitter was a steel washer and the emitter is hollow as it was milled out to add bearings. The washer on top of the hollow emitter head is why you don't see that outer-most flange on the wooden master buck or the metal copies from that mold.
This is why people think there is a recessed inner area on the face of the emitter. The entire face (the washer) was painted black for ANH but the washer is ever so slightly concave and the paint has worn away due to blade strikes in a circular pattern giving the illusion of a recess when it's really just slightly concave.
No idea if this is true, just something I heard many years ago.

i think the hole needs to be on the other side of the nipple screws
now seeing another saber has the same idea of the screws... this must be something common with the construction of them both
so basically its like the Solo's holds V2 with the interchangeable tops? (in this case the top is the washer?) the emitter is hollow for the LED's
So all the warping and dents would be in the washer or top of the emitter. This makes sense but would be hard to replicate being a solid emitter.

Or rather, the closest surrogate one can get. Both Brandon and Scottjua have said it's not just square and Brandon early on has said it was aluminium. I know there are a few of us here that think it's a bit of alu square stock crammed in the pommel hole.
Do you mean that the width of the rectangle tapers down as the chunk goes into the hole?
