Hmm.... Maybe not. I was looking at DVD grabs back then.

Wow re-reading that whole thread . . . it sure felt like we're going in circles after all that time . . . or more like a vortex or spiral loop? With the only 'new' add being that the grenade windvane stem seems to be attached on the bottom end of the No.3MkI grenade :wacko So OB1's lightsaber prop was cobbled up together in the UK by Bapty, then before being transported to Tunesia taken apart completely for a safe passage accross the border (?) ... and finally re-cobbled back together on set in Tunesia by someone else unknown of the original composition of the vintage parts thus giving us the Tunesia saber?

Also, lets compare the brass stems.

To my eyes, These two pics have to show two different brass grenade stems.
Look how much closer the windvain is to the frag body on the Tunisia saber.
Now some of you may say, the windvain screws up and down, maybe they just screwed it down farther. My response will be that on a regular no3 grenade, it does not screw down that much farther. I've tried to replicate the Tunisia saber look using the brass stems from over 4 different original grenades. I have never been able to get the windvain that close to the frag body.
It's the exact opposite problem IMO... in order for me to get my wind vane as far up as it appears to be in the Chronicles pictures, I have to unscrew it almost to the point where it's coming off the thread; hence why you can see the hole in the stem so clearly. Otherwise, the windvanes on my grenades that I have sit fairly close to the frag body when screwed in all of the way.
Is that the grenade I sold you, or a different one?
Just look at the handwheel... even that looks "beat up", but we know that at that time the handwheels were brand new.
