Yep that is true - he also wears a newly made ANH style belt for that shoot.
so is the saber a photoshop job or the real deal?

I used screws that came with a vintage solder-less connection set called Omni-grips. (it was a spring and bracket you could pinch leads into)
The screws were almost exactly that size and I put them in a drill press and filed the heads down about .5 mm
The D ring in the ROTJ shot does look suspiciously similar to the D ring in Gino’s b/w picture and therefore the same as the ranch saber.
Ive never actually seen this picture this closeup before. Is this clip in the usual configuration still? I can’t believe I’m even saying this again but those ends look suspicious to me. I can see the two ends of the clip - shouldn’t we see the connecting piece at that angle?

BINGO!!!!!!
I didn’t want to say anything, because I didn’t want to give the whole “placebo effect”
But MS when I saw that kobold I thought of you right away! I agree with you on that!!!
Sure does look like it’s flipped no?!?!
Oh man, though I do think it’s an intriguing possibility, I’m just thrilled at least one other person even sees it, even if it does end up being another illusion!

I'm pretty sure that's a button but there WAS a button there back then. Only recently did a museum or someone from lucasfilm put it back in the correct spot under the bunny ears.
looks like a warped almost triangular D ring, is the ranch saber's that warped?
