Thanks Tom for the email and to Carlo, Mike.
Personally, I think it's likely to be the facemask. However, I've taken time before posting just to gain an analysis, based on Pete's comps, as well as the book. A couple of small things aren't 100% in terms of the Tantive Vader.
That's not to say it's not the one. Just that nearly 40 years and some issues regarding the exact paint and markings are diminished, or simply different. It's been repainted, in areas, which would make sense as KE regularly touched up parts of the costume himself, let alone, the chronicles re-paint and many further tour duties (Jefferson/Corbis) etc. I doubt the exact Tantive markings exist now, regardless.
I want this to be it, I really, really do but look at the eye by the bridge of the nose, it's a different depth?
Is this not just a neat cast from the baker mold?
Now details like the c scar are identified as physical would that not show in a cast from the mold along with everything else in minutiae?
Please tell me I'm wrong
