WannaWanga ANH Graflex Configuration

No, the stamped numbers have only been seen on the ANH hero saber.
Thanks for the clarification! BTW, my order from your shop was mailed out to me so I can’t wait to get it and tackle the ANH build! Appreciate all your work.
I am happy to announce that I have now REPLICA sidebars in stock with the highly accurate RAF code stamping included!
These are hand-stamped and have the exact same typeface, size and location as an authentic RAF coded Graflex.
You can purchase a replica part, or in case you prefer it even more accurate, you can send me your vintage Graflex sidebar and I provide the stamping as a service.
For more information, or to buy one, please see the product-page:

Gent's, this may be slightly OT, but since this seems to be such a dedicated ANH saber thread I figured it was worth asking here.
How does everyone feel about the brass grounding contact tabs that live under the top brass pins? I can't seem to find any definitive picture evidence that it's there on screen or promo pics, but also can't tell if it's just aged, darkened and obscured by the lighting OR if it's just been removed by the props dept because its such a pain to put back in once taken apart. Thoughts?

Why would they have disassembled the bulb socket on the hero? The ANH stunt wasn't a real Graflex so there'd have been no reason to mess with it to that degree.

I'm just asking if anyone has any proof that the tabs are there, or if all of the evidence points towards them being gone/shrouded form view because I can't find image of them being visible.

Many vintages have tabs so dark/dirty they're almost invisible. I think it's safe to assume they're present, because there's no motive for the prop guys to remove them.
100% agree

Sounds like a job for some brass black... I really don't like the look of the bright brass when it's not visible on screen anywhere anyway. Thanks guys,
