I already searched a bit for the most accurate setup, but since it's been changed a lot over the years, I can't really figure out which is the widely accepted consent on the buttons...

What do you think is the best setup?

If it's not too late to chime in; I say go with the Ep3 gold buttons. It's the easiest to get accurate.

Are they removeable? I mean, they're available in the shop, so...if they are, you can reproduce almost any combination from the movies by just changing them.

Edit: Seems like they have been removed...only the gold buttons for the conversion kit are still available Undecided

They seem the red button and glass eye button on TCSS with 10/32 threading. Not sure if that is the same threading US uses.

If ever, I'd definitely order the US Graflex (SE Tongue).

If the buttons are the same as the Bellicose, then there is a milled flat spot in the hilt body, and a small threaded hole that the button itself screws into. If I remember, I'll try to get you pics tonight.

No doubt they screw on and off, or it's knowing the thread type that matters.

Cool, thx!

So, to sum it up: front and rear gold for the Ep3 look, red on the rear for any look from ANH to TLJ (ANH and TFA/TLJ without a front button, ESB with a red front). That's what I took from the website...

Which would mean a gold and a red set is needed to reproduce the different setups.

Sorry for the delay.

Here is how the Bellicose button is mounted.
