Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was a skilled swordsman with this lightsaber in his grasp. When the Master was struck down by Sith Lord Darth Maul, his Padawan apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi took up the blade and avenged his death. It now belongs to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight. 

This lightsaber was primarily custom machined and cast in resin, then assembled onto a 3/8" diameter steel rod. The custom resin parts were painted black.

The emitter head of this lightsaber prop was probably made from a radial bearing retention or retainer ring, used around the collar of bike handlebars. An exact matching bearing has not yet been found.  Inset in the top is a 1 1/2" fender washer. 

The metal sleeve encircling the lightsaber's shaft may have been a found part. It has four long holes cut in the back but may have had more before it was cut into it's current shape.

A red anodized aluminum thumbscrew was used as an activator button, manufacturer unknown. Underneath the button is a conical black rubber gasket.

The black end cap was likely a found part recast in resin, but so far it's identity is unknown.

The round black piece on the handle is half of a system for attaching the saber to the Jedi's belt. The other half is a clip worn on the belt that the "knob" on the prop slides into with a simple downward action. By design, the prop remains free to pivot within the clip and is released simply by pressing the two arms on either side of the clip.

These clips are made by Covertec a European manufacturer of protective cases for PDAs, HPCs, mini-notebooks and cellular phones.
