FX Compatible Accurate ANH Graflex?

Ive been in the market for a screen accurate ANH graflex hilt (seven grips, clamp at 9:30 o-clock, etc) , particularly one that is compatible for FX installs, specifically for a Neopixel setup if possible.


Thanks in advance!

I believe the most accurate is the Roman's hilt:

The Graflex Shop offering is also accurate but it may be the same manufacturer as Roman's:

For an FX-ready hilt Korbanth/Parks can be made more accurate by KR Sabers add-ons:

The Graflex Shop's replica is still the most accurate, especially with the updated Gen2. You just need to get a chassis and a blade adapter, preferably the Solo's Hold, so that you can still use the accurate long brass pins.

What I did with mine is purchased a second bottom tube, set of grips, and d-ring w/ clip that I vented for sound while the one that came with my replica is unvented and used for display so that it literally looks like a prop while on display. I just switch out that for the sound vented one when I use it.

I use the glass eye for blade retention. When the display bottom tube is on, you cant tell that it has FX at all. Not even so much as an extra retention screw anywhere in sight.
