hey guys
so not content with looking at every other damned part of this costume i wanted to share my progress on the saber clip
I wanted to kick this off to public discussion
as i've scoured for many days and figured i could help make the search easier by coalating some information and giving some better views
these are the best two images i have:
my thoughts are as the construction is so over engineered it will be industrial or military leaning more towards military, the saber clip is also brass which narrows it down to vintage as not many production items use brass today in terms of over engineering I'm referring to the use of laminated layered metal on the feed in to the clip body this is something that has to be rock solid and ergo my feelings towards military gear, i've had some mil buds check it over a few think perhaps vehicle mounting clips but they are vague area guesses the other was some form of ganging connector from general industry
so that leads me onto this, not everyone has great depth perception alot i've spoke too just didnt get it, so i've made some 3d models hopefully this will help us all track this part down !
anyway my dimensions are obviously inferred and not perfect wuth should be in the ballpark
enjoy & happy hunting !!
Holder with saber clip inserted

if it really gets down to it i'm confident we could get this machined if we need to !!
