Hi, I was wondering if any of you prop legends can help me out.
I just committed to Anakin's run of V2s, and want to order a clamp right now from Roman's.
Which is the most accurate for the V2?
The Bright Satin or Matte?
Thanks

In the film it was closer to bright satin or chrome, today the prop is less shiney but either way would work depending on how you want to weather it. The clamp is noticably shinier than the rest of the saber.

The most accurate is the one that resembles the vintage Graflex clamp best!

Thank you fellas.
From that picture that Anakin shared, it looks like bright satin with some weathering does the trick.

Hey brthegreat117 ! I believe the answer is Roman's Summer 2016 Limited Edition Clamp Run where the G and the X landed in the Original Clamp's alignment.

Since I'm pretty sure those are all gone, I'd go with one of the current Bright Satins!

I know he's mentioned that that L.E. Clamp Run machine shop has made other parts for him since, I just don't have the particulars stored in my memory as to what parts those were/are.

Good Luck finishing your lightsaber when you get it!

I am probably going to do that in the long run lol

And thank you Ridire
From the pictures of the prop I've been seeing, the bright satin with weathering is a good choice
