Although fuzzy pictures and absence of information is usually a big warning light, this feeling is enhanced by the following answer to my question:

Question:
Can you see any letters on the bottom of the outer hilt on any side ? And do you have some close-up photos of the saber (both parts) ?

Answer:
the vader is already package to ship

Saber seems too reddish to, so beware since this looks like a fake and he seems to know so ....

"lightsaber was broken put was repaired" because some fakes are brittle

Ah, that must be it
