I wouldn't worry about that.

My first Officer uniform, taking a break from armor.  Here’s hoping for L2 and L3 clearance!

That actually happened to an old Sergeant I knew while stationed in Germany back in the day.

I figure the rank should match the relative age of the member. A young member in their early 20s would more likely be of a lower rank (IE, cadet or Lieutenant) while members of a certain age (ice age, like me) would probably hold a senior rank like Colonel or General. I think it would be rather odd to find a 20 year old Admiral in the ranks, but there's no real reason that you can't.

Gotta catch 'em all!

Here's the photo from the CRL
 
The barrel detailing is evident with the cocking lever and slider in place. The ejection port is also evident.  

And now I want to know what happens if you get caught sleeping with the RIGHT General's wife.  Promotion? LOL

Right, that's the bolt, on the original firearm these blasters are based on. (The Swiss Rexim-Favor submachine gun)
 
Bolts can sometimes be parkerized to a dark metal, but realistically, once used for any significant amount of time, any finish tends to wear off, and you end up seeing the shiny steel itself.  (and of course, many bolts are shiny steel to begin with).  This is especially true of firearms of many decades ago, such as the Rexim-Favor, the bolt for which was indeed a regular silver metal color:
 

 
I don't know if we have great photography of the original props, which were casts of the Rexim-Favor, not the actual modified firearm, to show whether it was black or silver.  Some of the more recent non-saga shows I think have been mostly black, as well.
 
That said, the amount of weathering varies wildly, so on a more heavily used blaster, you're always going to see more silver from wear than on a brand new factory-fresh one.  So from an approval standpoint, you can do whichever you prefer, and feel good about it.

Wow. That is awesome. I know I’ll collect more later. I wanted to get an order in quick since I want to try and be ready for my first troop in June and I wasn’t sure how their lead time was running.

I have a collection that spans MANY ranks, both OT and non-saga.  I don't have pictures of all my OT ranks handy, but here is a taste LOL:
 
Non-Saga:
 

 
OT:
 

 
But I tend to agree with the "realistic age for the rank" theory.  A 20-year old is welcome to portray a top general if they really want to, but to my eye, if you appear too young, and those top tiers ranks seem a little off.  Similarly the bottom level ranks seem a little incongruous on someone in their 50s-60s, although it's certainly easier to rationalize. ("I got busted down for sleeping with the wrong general's wife" can be a great backstory LOL)

Thank you for confirming that. I think I am going to go with the major bar since it is fairly basic one and it’s a rank that I can continue to age into.

I am working on my TK armor and in the meantime am an approved handler for the Golden Gate Garrison of the 501st. I would like to purchase an Imperial Officers uniform and accessories, so I can get my 501st membership, but am strapped for cash after purchasing my Anovos TK kit an still have to build it so was hoping someone here could steer me in the right direction for a basic 501st approved officers uniform so that I can get my membership, handle as a uniformed officer, and save a little money so that I can get to Centurion level on the TK kit. Hope this makes sense and thanks for the help!

Is the linked uniform approved by the 501st??
