Is it just me or is this R2 saber a painted repro?, i'm almost sure it is...

Being advertised as the real deal and sold as seen!

That's the annoying part with some sellers they stick it in a glass of water, see that it floats then believe it's genuine.

This guy has probably either done that or he's purposely passing it off as genuine.
