Replica or vintage folmer graflex 3 cell bottom? If replica then who's?
Hi Scarf Man,Here is a great resource for your question.
Graflex Variations: Facts and vs. Replica
In my quest to build my near screen accurate Luke ANH, and Luke ESB, I've learned a lot about Graflex Flashes and the replicas over the past couple of months. I posted all of this on the fx-sabers forums, but I thought it might be useful and helpful here too. When I started I got my hands on...www.therpf.com
Yeah, I don’t see anything that jumps out as obviously replica about your pic. Do you have a top and clamp to go with the bottom? There are more tells to look for on the other parts.Hi Scarf Man,
Thanks for the quick reply and reference info.
I went thru all 33 pages of this reference info but was unable to find info on this.
I originally Listed this on ebay to sell as vintage and had someone contact me saying he thought it may be a replica. I removed it of course until I can confirm replica or vintage. If I can't confirm vintage then I will just list it as a replica.
Thanks again for the info.

If you take graflex apart and sell it, then it's very likely that the Graflex 3 cell front end I bought on ebay yesterday morning was this?View attachment 1504995The front end I don't think it looks any problem. As for the bottom.........
