this is why i love you scott, always stay cool in the moment :cool
Also I don't think I've ever seen a washer that would have an inside diameter that large and an outside diameter so small in comparison. They would have had to modify a washer to fit under there or make their own custom one, neither makes any sense for this prop at all.
I also have to say that if a prop department could make a Graflex replica from scratch with such accuracy as to best the efforts of those who make them here (think about the time and effort they put into them, even the guy making the stainless steel one) they would be the best prop department ever! They would never take the hours and hours to make one when they could pop online and buy any number of very accurate replicas by the dozens.

If it's the same for TLJ, then molded resin is what sources are saying.

Ordered! Thanks Roy!
Bumping this, Scott over at “Scott prop and roll” posted a little video of some TFA props on display at a museum in South Carolina
The guy who took the footage explains they built a “jumbo”’graflex for a shot with maz…
I’ve never heard of this, and still don’t understand why they needed a jumbo size.. I don’t know if the man is confused and never seen the size of a actual graflex
But you can see this graflex is fabricated
Early in the video the box can be seen next to daisy's costume.. the box doesn’t look enormous..
Curious if anyone else has heard of this jumbo flash…

Crazy!!! If anyone has any more pics from the exhibit, please post.
It definitely sounds like he’s saying it was an oversized prop, bigger than a regular Graflex. I could see maybe due to the zoom in and close up of the reveal shot a regular sized chest/saber was out of focus or too distorted from lense distortion but it all seems wacky to me.
I feel like we need to see human hands interacting with that prop to really see the scale properly.

The exhibit was only there June 15th through November 3rd.
Field Marshall went to it. He posted some photos to his fb page, but I didn’t see any of this prop. Maybe he has some he can share.

So awesome to see the hilt in the box along with the 'Fusion cutter head' and the 'datium power core'. The other large greeblie bits in the box have been a build I've wanted to tackle for some time.
Also for the oversized graflex, I'm with James Kenobi 1138 that its most likely made for better framing and maybe the box was too big? Maybe if Maz' hand was a practical element they wanted the saber to look huge in her hand. I had thought ll of Maz was CG though
Incredible photos thanks teecrooz and fieldmarhsall for sharing!
It’s amazing I never heard of this jumbo saber until this morning!
Is this the prop max hands leia during the first trail “my sister has it…”
that graflex in the first trailer had a glass eye with out the brass showing, and if my memory is right.. no shiny rivets in the tracks…
