RafalFett's Found and Replica Parts

[RafalFett]

This week was a magnificent week for me... at least for things connected to Boba Fett. Saturday, 5th of July, while I was searching a manual for a Texas Instruments PS-6200 Organizer, I remembered that the Casio MQ-1 had also a manual online, so I did a quick search for the manual and an address caught my eye: it was an eBay like site in Romania where you can buy mostly used products. One of the sellers had listed a Casio MQ-1 calculator in perfect shape, only the box had a bit of tear and wear. The price of the calculator was around 12 USD (including the postage) and I had to grab it, which I did:

The next day I thought why not to test my luck and do some search for other parts too. The next found part was an Eveready minilight without package and with a bit of wear; the price for this was also around 12 USD (including the postage), so it was a no brainer that I bought it:

The last piece I found (so far) is the grip of the Kaiser camera (without the shoulder stock and the receiver) listed at 25 USD (including the postage) and got my hand on that too:

Then a few days of waiting... Wednesday got the messages from the postal office and Thursday I was in the possession of all these beautiful parts.

My found parts list until now consisted in a Panorama hand telescope that I bought a few years ago on Etsy for 18 USD and the 1SX1-T microswitch (jump here for more images ==> RafalFett's Found and Replica Parts), which I got last week from Steven (boba87fett) - Thanks again! Now I have these found parts:

The replica list is populated by a Perspex block and the Polaroid viewfinder beautifully made by Garrett (Terminal Fettler), a nice helmet cast I got from Artakha - Erikson Props and finally an ESB sidearm (jump here for more images ==> RafalFett's Found and Replica Parts) which I got this Thursday from Fettology - Thanks!

Managed to acquire a rOtring sec-o-mat pen holder from Australia, but sadly this is not the correct variant (still it is a great find for me). More images here ==> RafalFett's Found and Replica Parts.

In the next posts I will share more images and measurements of the pieces I have.

Have fun!

Truly awesome find , these pieces are becoming rarer and rarer as the years tick by , the non fettheads don't know the value of some of these pieces and don't list them for sale and would just class them as valueless junk destined for the bin.
