I saw this 3 Cell bottom. And can't believe the price the seller asks for this piece of junk.
You'll have to completely nickel and chrome plate it again to get the look back.

True, the price is insane. Although in its condition you could use it for the ROTJ Shared/Vader/Stunt hilt. The plating is worn off on that underneath the grips. I spent hours trying to replicate that, lol My message to the seller would be "Move along...move along..."

To re-plate a Graflex is around $80.00. Not cheap..
