Ben Lightsabre

Hi all

A mate has just sent me this picture. He has run an ultraviolet light at his Ben sabres and want to know if an look like repro?

Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards
Iain

Unfortunately the pic is not the best here Iain. I dont think it is really helping. Any better pics?

Thanks

I couldnt really see anything myself. I am lead to believe that if the sabre is translucent then it is original - is that right ?

Cheers
Iain

This is an updated picture

Apparently all of them sink and the 2nd one (without the tip) is more translucent.

These were all bought as originals by my friend and I had told him if they sink and aren't translucent then they could well be fake - am I wrong ?

Nearly all original lightsabers sink :wink: I think thick tip originals float though.....

And the ReValveit Repros all float. (So i'd be more worried if i had ones that floated)

So if you've got a sinking saber its a good sign to being original.
