Luke Skywalker Lightsaber
This is my production-made Luke Skywalker lightsaber from Star Wars in 1976. It hasn't yet been matched to a particular scene in the movie, so uncertain if it got screen time, but it has solid provenance from the original production and one of the very few sabers known to originate from the first film. All the parts are original except the grip, which I added with two-sided tape to make it easily removable. The glue residue marks from the original grip are still on the lightsaber, so they may have re-used the original grips for another saber. The Graflex tube used for this saber has modifications to suggest attachment of a blade.
