I got this cheap a while back and I'd like you folks to take a look at this and see what's up. The buyer advertised it as a 'replica' but I cannot recall anytime a replica maker created a Graflex bottom with the 'Manufactured by Graflex INC' stamp at the bottom except for Larbel and they had the very noticeable 'PB' tell on it. It's not as thick as your average Graflex bottom from what I've noticed by comparisons.
And forgive the first photo, it does have the little battery spring in it.
Definitely looks like honest wear and honest accumulated dirt/grime. Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't believe any replica has ever accomplished a rivet through the bunny ears.

Thank you.
Speaking of, whats the best way to clean a vintage flash?
I’ve had good luck with simple green. I use that for everything. Then I polish it with mothers polish if I’m going for a ANH, TLJ look
Ill try that, thank you.
Was it ever confirmed which versions of the replica Graflex Roman sent in for Episode 9?
All signs point to REAL!Can you guys take a look at this and tell me if you think it's genuine? Don't want to spend that kind of money if it's suspect. Also, do you think the price is fair?
it seems to be a real vintage early folmer, it looks really great.
It's a bit expensive I would say, I woul definitelly take advantage of the make offer option there.
cheers
Awesome, happy for you!Well, they accepted my offer so it looks like it's joining my collection. I've been thinking about it and I like the way it looks with the reflector on, so I think I might just display it as is rather than making it into a saber.
Just picked up a 3 cell that is Graflex Inc. with a Patent. It also has the sharp angled glass eye, and the smooth dark pin in the lever. I'm thinking middle of production?
