Craig - I know you asked me for some pics of the blue saber I posted recently in the Vintage Purchases thread. Here are some that I tried to get the best details of. It seems to check out with what the reference shows. It's cast and plastic and if scratched, only plastic comes off. the only thing that doesn't look right to me is the color. But you are the expert so have a look.

Looks fine to me.

Hey Dallas,

The photos are great by the way... wish I could take close-ups like that.

Looking at the clearer photos buddy I can the Sabre is 100% spot on.

The mould is consistent with Luke Jedi sabres made the Hong Kong "HN" factory - This was the only factory (out of a possible 5) that made a Blue Sabre so no worries.

Hi Dallas

As Craig said its spot on

There is only the mass produced painted blue saber to worry about and its an easy spot below are some pics highlighting it.

As Craig said the Blue Saber only has 1 mold due to its limited production before the change to green.

Thanks Guys!

I checked mine against those same pictures Jay. That is a great reference.

It's not my photo abilities to take those close ups - I just finally got a camera with decent macros setting.

Ya'll have a good weekend!

I am trying to figure out if the lighter colored saber is original or not. The dark one is the painted over version, but the lighter one does not seem to be of the same mold as the bumps on the handle are more rounded on top, instead of the flat look of the original. Any thoughts?

Hi Johnny,

Sorry mate both sabres whether paint blue or moulded in blue are fake.

Only one factory produced the blue lightsabre and the mould that factory used is very much different to these sabres.

Check out the weopons guide to see the original blue sabre... if you scroll up, you can see Jay has left some great comparision shots. Again, it the mould that important not the shade of blue.

Thank you so much Craig I knew you would be the one that would know!! Now time to get my money back!!

Yes Jay it is cast in blue plastic. Thats what kinda puzzled me Ive never seen it before. I would love to take better macro pics but I just need to know what kind of lighting to use because the flash alters the color of the plastic. So as soon as I get better pics I will send them to you Jay!

Hey Jay, sorry I havent sent the pix in the sunlight. I will have them to you tomorrow after I get off of work!!

Hello Jay, i'm Sarah (Johnny's wife) he went in for emergency gallbladder surgery, so he didn't get thos pics. But he wanted me to let you know he didn't forget. He had me write you in his anasthesia fog lol. He wantd to know if you wanted us to send you the saber itself to check out, because we could ship it to you, if you wouldn't mind sending it back after. If you use the pics we sent, could you add his name (Johnny U) to them? That would be ace he said. Thanks bro.
