If the dimensions still match the Shared Stunt and the wooden buck (with casting shrinkage) then this is likely. Odd, but likely..

Very odd. Did anyone attend this panel? I wish we had some better pictures of what was shown then the YouTube video

I assumed it was just a piece of plastic, maybe that they'd tapped threads for or something. I'm more curious about the lever itself!
The square nut is the one that was originally inside the sidebar. On original graflexes, the side bars are not square stock, their folded steel and with a rectangular nut soldered inside the bar. This is the nut that came loose
I noticed Roman copied this exact construction (nice going!) I never thought it would come out haha

Hi guys, I hope you all enjoyed seeing the saber and that some of you were able to attend the panel in person at Celebration. At this time I'm opting not to post any other photos online, but it will be shared and likely displayed more in the future.
I know the common consensus is that this piece was cast from a wooden master, and maybe it was - but I'm not 100% certain. Whereas the "other" saber has a very visible seamline, this piece has no remnants of a seamline and is covered in machine marks. The pommel is not cast, it is machined. Those aren't bubbles on the end, they're dents - it looks like it was used to drive nails at some point during it's life. The pommel is machined (inside and out.)
The saber contains a chamber where the motor once was, and you can see the threaded holes where it mounted. I don't know what the custom lever on the side of it is I'm afraid.
All the best,
Brandon

Any chance we could hear how you acquired it?
Didn't someone post a pic of a shared stunt or one of the Luke/Obi sabers being used by a rebel in the Hoth base as a tool (in background of a scene)?
Yep, that was me

I just bought a V2 from the JY,:confused...
but I doubt you were talking about me.

Yep, still talking about THE V2 and after looking over the pics numerous times, I am seriously considering altering my Russrep by punching some holes in it. :lol
My ideas of my run were based off of the best research I thought was out there. I was working off of the idea that the v2 was a cast stunt like the shared stunt in the archives except with a few extra parts added on. Now Brandon's saying that this is not the case. So, consequently, my run isn't going to happen until we get some better photos. It just doesn't make sense for me to invest all this time and money into making what I think will be the definitive version of this prop, only for new references to be made available a couple days or weeks or months later and have to start over. Or worse for me, find that I now have a bunch of inaccurate prop replicas that no one wants anymore and am out hundreds of dollars.
Sorry guys, but until I can get better reference pics, this project will stay in what the movie people call development hell.
