Smooth pins?!
I know its just my eyes playing tricks, but I almost see the words "saberforge" etched on there.

If anyone has hi-res photos of this display, I could use some more reference of the Kylo and Rey Saber as well!

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. The TFA Rey saber had the glass eye knuling filed off to expose brass. I almost certain TLJ saber had the “standard” glass eye with knurling. This saber looks like TFA saber.

That sloped black section before the neck must be really thin, but at least we know it's there now.
And I'm thinking that Halliwax is right about that emitter nipple hole!

I recall paying particular attention in the Snoke throne room scene. I’m almost positive it’s there.

Check The Graflex Bank for some nice pictures of the saber. I'm pretty sure it's got the knurling removed in TLJ.

I was wondering that myself. But the shadow falls right where the step in the pin would be.
And on a side note. I still feel the grips are the tiniest bit longer than the TFA version.
You know me and my nipples!
looks like a set screw but no emitter nipple hole! The emitter inside the ring of holes looks to be the same plane as the rest of the emitter plate, not sunken any deeper.
brass rails for sure, and a REALLY tarnished brass neck?!
skinny neck too, not sure how I feel about all those right angles

It appears I am most certainly wrong.

I'm not sure about brass. Though as someone pointed out, weathered brass can look like copper and weathered copper can look like brass. I personally think the brass/coppers has been painted on.

halliwax smooth pins it is!!!!
Which means this is a different prop from the TFA one. As I thought it was decided that they had used Graflex Inc guns for TFA. Which use the stepped pins?

TFA is a Folmer-- see the TFA page int he guide book. You can see the Folmer bezel on the eye.

Which means, unless I somehow get my hands on a second Folmer, that I can't have completely accurate ANH and TFA/TLJ sabers.
Great.
Great.

I have 2 complete Graflex Inc. flashes and one has smooth pins and the other stepped, some Incs have them. Or you could get smooth pins from TGS and tarnish them with ammonia

I personally am not sold that the hero’s used in TLJ are from TFA. Way too shiny for me
