Nice shot I haven't seen before; lasted for a whole 1 frame before Rey "grabbed" it and it got blurry:

I like how the black of the emitter looks like iron here. "Smithy, what have you got for me?"

Glass eye is also sticking out pretty good in it...
Does it proove its a folmer one?

I just finished my viewing of the hour and a half documentary for TLJ. And the only things interesting that I saw as far as the props are concerned were. A shot of the internal electronics in a Kylo FX stunt. And it looked like Daisy was practicing with the FX stunt with the long antennae from TFA. There were a few other shots of some FX sabers but I'm afraid I didn't look at them closely. I was on the search for the "creepy uncle lightsaber"
So based on how compositing works, in the final shot of this scene the Graflex would be CG.

They can do amazing things in comp; I suspect it's more likely that they'd have done a paint-out on his hand and used the Nuke equivalent of the clonestamp to fill in the bits for the saber and robe where Hamill's hand was.
I guess technically that would make the saber partially CG, but not a 3D model and just cloned pixel data.
the little down-crimp on that clamp wrap under the bars is interesting.

As you can see, it would appear that they *did* model the Graflex in CG, but nothing is mentioned about it specifically in the photo caption or in the text of the article. I would guess that it was done to assist the CG artist with how the mechanical hand interacted with it - I can't imagine that there would have been a need to completely paint out the prop and replace it with a digital version.
