Yeah, go with 4. Close call, hard to tell with the lighting, but it looks like 4 is a hair clearer or brighter.

So... If TOS P1 is supposed to have a jewel on the top, why didn't the Wand Co. put one on their version?
Not all TOS phasers had watch crowns (Greg Jein's hero, which is the basis for this phaser, didn't). And it's easier to add one than remove it.

I just received mine here at work and am charging it up as i type.
So far I'm very pleased. I like the metal grip, gives it some nice heft. The P1 sight seems very tight as it locks in & out of place. The emitter of the P2 moves in & out smoothly I hope it doesn't have the same issue that the MR has.
As an owner of 3 MR Phasers I'll say at $150 this is MORE than worth the money. The Wand Company has come up with a real winner.

Notwithstanding the price point and features, I think the most impressive thing about this phaser is that just over four months ago, no one even knew it existed. Given that most of the toy and collectible industry takes a year (or even two or more) to ship a product, the time in which The Wand Company brought this from announcement to fulfillment is both admirable from a logistics standpoint and really refreshing as a customer.

What's most impressive to me is that along with being a real cool quality made prop, with groovy lights & pew pew sounds it's actually a real functional tool for the home.
Same goes for the Sonic Screwdriver remotes.
Edit: It just finished charging......AND THE FLIPPING HANDLE VIBRATES TOO!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!!

Because no two original Phasers were the same and the one the Wand Company was able to scan didn't have the jewel.

* EDIT* I didn't see the previous posts, but here's some pics to explain anyway.
It wasn't supposed to have a jewel on it because they were modeling it after the Greg Jein phaser (seen in Shore Leave Episode and others).
If you read the book "The Making of Star Trek" they feature another "hero" phaser with the jewel on the hand phaser. There were some variations among the props.

Not too hard to do I have a version as seen on, " Tommorow is Yesterday"

That's the type I've been thinking of making myself lately, but I'm not exactly a DIY kinda' guy and would much prefer to pay someone more skilled than I.
Just for the visual, here's the Wand Co. vs a Robn1 hero I had built up.

I wonder how hard it would be to replace the the P/C/Fx to the numbers.
