I think it may be this same Graflex. He posted these pics on his FB a while back.

In a few years he'll pull a Kurtz and try to auction it as THE ANH saber.
It may be a left over unit from production. He told me this the last time we spoke: "I finally managed to get one of my originals from my storage lockbox, I made a few after the 1st two I sent to Tunisia, and Gino's strips are the most accurate. I had run out of the stormtroopers strips used for the 1st 2, so used what I could that matched, no-one ever knew they all looked the same".
I’ve always felt the track varies.
WOW! thanks for sharing that, so he sourced t track after he ran out? and opening knew it wasn't the same exact track?!
If you look at my earlier posts a few pages back, I quoted him as saying the tracks he used for the E-11 might have been draft excluders and he used that for the first 2 Graflexes he sent to Tunisia. He ran out of those when he made the remaining ones so he used cabinet slider tracks which his prop guy found. But as others have pointed out, this only added to the confusion.
Here's a thought...
He says they found six Graflexes.
...that doesn't mean there are six belt-hangers.
You know what there's six of in ANH? Graflex clamps.
One on the hero, one on the Luke/Vader shared stunt, one on the Tunisia Obi-Wan hero, one on the Death Star Obi-Wan hero, and one each on the two Obi_wan stunts (eventual V2 and V3).
Six Graflexes found, six clamps used.

I didn’t mean to, haha! I read Seth’s description as obi Wan has one for Tunisia and one for the Death Star, which I interpreted as two different belt hangers. Did I misunderstand?

It’s been debated that it’s 2 different sabers. This is a equal debate to “rivets vs screws”
Smart thinking Seth, but..
If a Graflex flash has been robbed from its clamp doesn't mean it can't be reunited again with it later. They didn't require all sabers at one location at the same time. In other words: unfortunately it doesn't proof that much.
