Spalletta, a CSv1 Saber by LDM
This is another saber that has been sitting in my "to do" box for at least a year. It has been waiting patiently for a good single button soundboard. In my mind, many hilts only have "room" for one switch, or I just feel like I want one switch. This is one such hilt. It's tri-color motif makes me feel happy to have built a shiny saber again. The steel diamond center grip offsets the brass and polished aluminum perfectly to my eye. Many brass and polished aluminum sabers out there, but haven't seen many (if any) with polished steel...especially this diamond pattern. The brass (which is VERY thin) was the missing piece for me and I literally just made that change this week. I also wanted to have a "recessed" AV switch. This one sits below the level of the brass with the top of the button even with the brass overlay. It came out exactly like I envisioned it. The pommel and emitter are modified MHS, but make sure to look carefully at the emitter's asymmetrical crenelated design. It is subtle, but really pops in person. This saber is small (only about 10" long) and has AWESOME resonance. I did machine a PVC speaker/Crystal Pommel module as well and the SD card is accessible easily enough via the free spinning pommel insert. I did add a nice polished D-ring and even though it is the only feature that mars the smooth lines of this hilt, it does seem to fit. Thanks for looking.
