Do we know who built Obi-Wan's saber?

[scarf man]

Is it true that the Tunisia prop had the male balance pipe and the grenade flipped? the photos I've seen sure seem to point in that direction.

Pommel cubes were flipped, And possibly missing the cap, I don’t know about the grenade... it does look awfully different to what reference we have.
Throw up a pic and flesh out your hypothesis. The grenade looked flipped to me in the cantina scene at one time so I’m favorable to the two heros idea to a point.

These are not my photos, I found them on the old interwebs. The grenade is odd, like I said flipped. The (top) has no chamfer as seen in most other photos. My money is on an older more corroded grenade that is flipped and assembled.

 

[scarf man]

I wouldn’t put any money on a blurry pic... anymore.

I get it.

Here's a bigger version-- my brain flips back and force between seeing no cap and a rounded shiny cap. Pretty sure grenade is flipped.

Also here's the other pro-sabers...

Can you imagine if we were trying to replicate those? The horror......

I saw one of those on ebay recently for a decent price. I thought about it but im slimming my collection down.

Couldn’t be any worse than the Holiday Special saber!

Does that torch have a name ? (so I can keep an eye out.)

Given it's in bright sunlight & right next to light coloured fabric I'd say that it was rather dark for the cap to still be present.

I don’t remember off the top of my head but I’ll send you a picture of the stamping on it.

There was a close up shot of the pommel from AGs obituary that showed the missing cap pretty well. I had a nice scan of it, but lost it in an old computer crash

Damn it. Crashes never give you a warning, I lost all my studio scale kit scans 15 years worth to a crash. luckily I was able to find my old partial back up flash drive.

Maybe roman has the photo? I remember seeing this photo as well.. and I mean seen it in the last 3 years or so

 

[coolhanluked]

To me it couldn't be more clear that there is no cap from the above photo. And now I'm starting to think the grenade is fliped.

Some quick photos of mine in the Chronicles and Tunisia, no cap and flipped grenade orientation. It’s dark out, so lighting isn’t great. I might try to replica the lighting later.
