Graflex lightsaber

[propmainiac]

Hi All
Won a Graflex on ebay for 71 dollars. Needs some cleaning and missing the bulb release. The bottom half is a reproduction. The photo shows some rust on the upper half. Is it hard to get light rust off the flash. Were these made of brass and plated? Will the plating be damaged by cleaning? Or is it crap and I just have a pile of parts?

Nah, you can use it. The rust could be a problem; it is, like you say, brass with nickel plating. Be careful when you clean it.
