Re: Pommel of Pike ?
Not sure what to tell you. There was quite a bit of discussion about this on the old boards before they crashed.
I think the consensus was that the pommel was NOT the same as the Obi-Wan faucet hilt. The problem is the movie used pikes were not necessarily the same as the museum displayed pikes, which were refurbished or recreated. Then throw in a few good custom pikes that have been around ages, and you get a lot of confusion.
There are many faucet handles that will make good pike pommels, and many that are not so great. You could use just about anything you want as long as it resembles a movie pommel somehow. But as far as what exatly was used....hard to tell. It is my understanding that each pike was unique, so the pommels may not match, and the rasps at the top also do not all match exactly.

While the whole each Pike is unique, concept. The Empire is a Military Faction, hence weapons will look the same. Force Pike are not to be confused as LIGHTSABERS and have different bits on them. Prime Example there are no Boat light ends on the pommel of the forcepike.
