Hey guys, just wanted to post up a quick find up for you guys!
I’ve been searching for a vintage D-Ring to use on my Obi Wan Saber and came across what was labeled as a Graflex Case. Unlike many others I saw, this one only had two. But the shape of the mount for the D-Rings Caught my attention:
I immediately picked up the box and had it come in today, to see my suspicions to be correct! Vintage correct looking mounts! I’ve seen these on some vintage instrument cases here and there, but it was a first for me on a Graflex case!
They were quite rusty, but cleaned up fairly well. Bit of pitting, but it adds to the feel of the D-Ring for sure. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a maker for the case on it anywhere. But it was the first time I had seen a correct vintage mount on a Graflex case! As of now I will be keeping both for an Obi and a Luke saber, but we’ll see if that changes.
Obviously I’m not saying that this is definitely where the D-Ring came from; we all know Roger Christian said he had a collection of them and chose one out of his box of them. But guys. Keep looking! They are on Graflex cases out there!!!
