Double Telescoping Lightsaber help?

[DarthSwales]

Well, again, I'm not sure what's what about these. I understand that the early bird Luke had this feature and is extremely rare, but did Vader and Ben have the feature at all? Was there any DT figures on a card? How can I tell what is genuine and what isn't?

Thanks again

The Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi are much more rare than the Luke. There are only a few carded examples of the Vader and Ben left, but in the past at least one of both has been massacred for the AFA U grade. The Luke is more common as he was included in some early bird sets.

There have been very accurate reproductions of the sabers (Google revalveit). Here's a section on the Imperial Gunnery about the sabers:

Most collectors are reluctant to show detailed pictures of the sabers publicly, also because of the repro danger.
