Need help identifying saber led

Hey everyone, I found an Ultrasaber at my local Goodwill the other day. The led doesn't work and the resistor is missing, so I can't figure out what to replace it with. I took it apart and there is an "R" written on the outside of the led housing. Can I assume that this stands for red, or is there another way to figure out without cannibalizing one of my other sabers?

There are a lot of people good at this type of thing on the forum, so it might help if you add some pictures of the "internal components" for reference. Not an area of expertise for me, so this might help some of the pros answer your question.

Red usually means it is a red LED but if the resistor is missing too other things may have been done in there including a color change . You can check the color by snipping the wires, since you going to need to solder in the resistor anyway, far enough from the LED to press the ends of them to a button cell battery (like a cr2025 commonly used in key fob remotes.or any 3+ volt cell (lithium ion like in sound sabers or some cameras. For a few seconds a single cell will not overheat the LED, even red, enough to damage wi without a resistor.
If it is red or not and assuming a US Li-ion setup as 6.8ohm 3 watt resistor would be safe. They are available from mouser electronics for less than a quarter. That would be useable in any color although not at optimized brightness.
