For sure, I'm just doing it this way because it looks about right to what we see on screen so far.

Graflex, the way it's meant to look
But, that's not even a Graflex in that pic. It's the shared stunt that also doubled as Vader's dueling saber, I believe, which was made from a aluminum tube with greeblies attached.
looks great bryan!
Indeed :lol
So what is it doing in a promo photo?
Ahhh gatcha! :thumbsup

It's pretending to be Luke's lightsaber in a promo photoshoot ... for all kinds and purposes ...and since it was shot in the U.S.A. that's what they had available at the time :wacko

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all 71 pages of this thread.
Feels like the moment Neo looks up and says, "I know Kung-Fu"

I look forward to reading more, and eventually contributing.
Thanks to Roy ''wannawanga' for the heads up : )

I honestly dont think the grip lengths are different in the hero saber.
The space between the grip and the clamp seems to be due to the clamp not being pushed all the way down, and all of the pictures indicate a gap at the bottom.
I know its been said that shot of the saber in Maz's chest could be showing the reflection of the Kobold D-ring attachment, but if you look closely you can see that the metal actually curves on the same plane as the grips.
The Kobold attachment has straight edges so it wouldnt be Curved.
The body if the graflex is curved, which indicates its the tube showing on that gap, not a kobold.

Good call. No I won't!
Ugh.
I can't believe how many overpriced Parks and Korbanth Grafli are being sold for triple their normal price.
What makes it worse is that these listings have been specially described so that they only say things like "Hollow Graflex" so that they can dodge the eBay buyer protection policy.
Some examples of listings are ones with the titles below
Vintage Graflex 3 Cell Top Part Only For Star Wars Lightsaber Replica- This has a replica Red Button
Star Wars Luke Skywalker Ep.5, Ep.7 Lightsaber (GRAFLEX 3 CELL)-This is a Parks V1 Graflex Replica. The description even says "NOT A REPRODUCTION"
I really wish people like this would just stop trying to satisfy their greed by scamming others and making the claim that they "need to make ends meet".

The button has filthy clean knurling and the the countours of the depression where the burgundy plastic don't match vintage pieces. In fact, they match Parks' replica buttons that were put on his graflex 1.0. However the top half of that ebay listing is vintage.
