You've come to the correct place if you're thinking of weathering, battle scars, or engraving your saber to make it uniquely yours.
Choose from the available options for the design and location of your customization to get started. To include multiple locations or designs, simply add each one to your shopping cart individually. For instance, if you desire to engrave the emitter in a particular style, choose that option and add it to your cart. Add to your cart an alternate etching style for the switch housing if you'd like one.
Once you are satisfied with your selections and they are all in your shopping cart, you may proceed to the checkout process. During this procedure, you will be required to pay for the return shipping of your customized lightsaber.
Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility to send us your saber, and you must cover the associated shipping costs. Here is our location:

Depending on our workload, the production time for etching tasks can range from two to four weeks. We will make every effort to return your lightsaber as soon as the repair is complete.
Notably, we are unable to issue refunds for customized sabers, including those with weathering, battle scars, or engraving. We are dedicated to guaranteeing your complete contentment with the final product.
Weathering, Etching and Battle Scarring
We have the option for your sabers to be weathered, etched or battle scarred.
For the weathering, this means that we take your hilt and make it look like it has had long exposure to the atmosphere, giving it a worn, run down look and a battle used kind of look.
With etching we add a stencil in the design you choose to protect your hilt and then use acid to remove the remaining metal giving a 3D textured pattern on your saber.
Battle scarring requires us to make cuts and gouges to your hilt to make it look like it has been used in combat and been hit by another saber.
Each process requires us to either sand parts of the hilt, add marks, scratches, dents or other battle like scars or by adding paints or chemicals to adjust the look of feel of the hilt.
This is very labour intensive and can extend the lead time and increase the cost of the saber. It can take up to 2 weeks to get your saber customised - this is on top of the normal 2 week production time for the parts, core and assembly of everything.
