yep they got bend by the factory workers as far as I know.. for an easier handling - so they did not disapear in the outer saber..Jedi534 said:Maybe the factory worker bent them as they were stuffed into the arm slot during a fast pace assembly?
My apologies, I didn't catch that in your OP. In this case, you have every right to be upset. I am shocked that Paypal isn't being more supportive. In the past they have shown so many ways for people to file a claim, it didn't make any sense.Shoenix said:You are right. But if the seller tells you it is real, you ask them specifically if they are sure and they say 'yes', they post different pictures than the actual item in their auction which look fine, what can you do ? Ofcourse it's still a risk, but PayPal claims they protect you when sellers are lying so the risk seems low.
The outer saber looks fine, however the lettering (or lack of) is not a point of authentication. The inner saber looks a little off to me. The colors should match a little closer, and the length is an issue, possibly broken off tip and the larger end as well.brianmac said:
So I understand that lack of lettering doesn't mean it's not authentic but if it has a letter isn't this a guarantee that at least the hilt(tube part) is authentic?Bill_McBride said:The outer saber looks fine, however the lettering (or lack of) is not a point of authentication.

No - The short answer is that authentic examples exist with and without lettering.Jedi_Kydus said:So I understand that lack of lettering doesn't mean it's not authentic but if it has a letter isn't this a guarantee that at least the hilt(tube part) is authentic?
I was wondering the same thing. I'm just getting back into vintage and I've ALWAYS wanted a DT saber Luke, but I'm not ready to pay the higher prices for a clean one. The Vader and Ben would be a bonus. This would have been a PERFECT alternative.Dr_Ball_MD said:Does anyone know what happened to the site that does replica DT sabres
