Description
This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time. A holy grail of sorts for lightsaber replica enthusiasts, this set-accurate Obi-Wan battle-tested blade has been built from the same rare found parts as the original screen-used hero prop. Emitter: Rolls Royce Derwent Mk 8 jet engine balance pipe 16-hole beveled interconnector. Front grip and shaft: Reversed British WWI Number 3 Mk 1 rifle grenade and windvane. Control box: Graflex 3-Cell flash clamp, TI Exactra 20 calculator bubble display, and Motorola TO-99 transistors. Rear grip: Booster section from a WWII Browning ANM2 machine gun flash suppressor. Pommel: Vintage metal/plastic Armitage Shanks cold water tap handwheel. Also featuring the correct clamp set screw, booster wire and pommel D-ring, this stunning piece is rock solid and yet can be completely field stripped and re-assembled. Researched, sourced and built by D Stokes.More from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
