An Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) lightsaber replica made from accurate real-world industrial components to those used on the original filming prop for George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Obi-Wan's lightsaber was assembled in a brilliantly creative manner, re-purposing found components of similar diameter to fashion a futuristic lightsaber handle. The original prop is lost to history. This replica of one of the most beloved props in Star Wars is made from the exact same components used on the original build, which are extremely difficult to locate today.

From top to bottom, the prop's components are: a "female" balance pipe from a Rolls Royce Derwent jet engine; a 1916 No. 3 WWI Mk1 inert fragment grenade intended to be fired from a rifle; a Graflex clamp from a Graflex flash unit; a bubble set from a 1970s Exactra calculator; a "booster" from a Browning machine gun barrel; and a sink knob or handwheel made by Armitage Shanks in the U.K. The components were assembled around a threaded rod by a professional prop-maker.

The real-world components have a beautiful natural patina from age that mimics the patina of the original filming prop. The piece remains in excellent condition, showing the age of its components. Dimensions: 10.75" x 1.5" x 1.5" (27 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm)

Estimate: $8,000 - 10,000
