New model for OWK three holes saber...

[Rexermus]

Semi resurrecting this to post pictures from the prop store auction of the stunt version of this saber:

From the same PropstoreAuction catalogue, while the belt hanger/hero prop had the covertec wheel attached to the normal OWK spot it appears that the rubber stunt version of the salt and pepper shaker has a strangely placed covertec above the grips

 

[Eruonen]

I saw that. So strange

 

[Rexermus]

the normal placement of the covertec wheel on OWK stunts is already a slight nuissance for two-handing, having it on the collar would make dueling so difficult and uncomfortable. Which also begs the question, did the prop team not think about how it would rest upside down on Obi-Wan's belt?

 

[Eruonen]

I know that a lot of the bladed stunts didn't have covertec wheels for that reason, which really makes me wonder why this one had one at all. Especially since this one doesn't appear to have ever been painted. Maybe someone just screwed it in randomly after production but before going to The Prop Store...

 

[Rexermus]

The Prop Store auction claims that the silver body paint flaked off. you can still see some of the paint on the knurled screw and the pommel. Unless they had some sort of plan for Ewan or his stunt double to do a fall or some kind of fall with the hilt on his belt it certainly doesn't make sense why a rubber stunt would need it

Propstore is auctioning a mostly metal salt shaker hilt that was in possession by Nick Gillard

Here's all the photos from that auction for perpetuity sake...

I honestly love the case that once held the V3, Barbican and Ranch saber too

Do we think the salt shaker used some Ep1 parts?

The piece? yes. The price? Goddamn

In case anyone was wondering. My model for this saber is complete and I will do a run of this version soon (probably early 2024).

To clarify - perhaps an identical model of this case held those sabers, but not the exact case pictured.

As a wrap gift on Episode III, each Head of Department from the production was given a case just like that one, with a set of seven metal hero sabers: Anakin, Obi-Wan Saltshaker, Obi-Filmed As Filmed, Dooku, Sidious, Vader, and Windu. So the pictured case used to have those seven hilts. There were a few cases like that, for each of the various HODs. It's not clear that ANY of those hilts ever saw any filming, as they seem to have been created explicitly as wrap gifts.

This case was Nick Gillard's wrap gift, He has previously sold all of the other sabers through various auctions, and this is the last of them. I suppose that's why the case is going with it.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the update. Will the run be a all metal prop or mixed media like your General McGregor? Will it be a static hilt?

The contents of the other case are also very notable. All the existing sabers that they used as reference for making the ROTS sabers: Obi-Wan AOTC, Anakin AOTC, two Qui-Gons, Vader Barbican, Luke ROTJ V3, and Luke ESB Ranch.

This one will be all metal. The black sections on this saber look to have a much more glossy polished look than the ep1 hero.

Now someone find me the correct aluminum box to put this thing in, so I can make the rest of the ROTS crew
