I made a replica label for this prop a couple of years ago if anybody can use it.
11/8/14 the label on the right is the revised label. Thanks to cirrusx1's image of an actual label pictured below I made adjustments to both the size and layout of the font and logo.

Hello! I realize I'm pretty late to this discussion, but am also feeling my way through the facts and fiction regarding the Neo-Flasher and have a few questions before I make a purchase:
1) Is the actual screen-used flasher an ACR/4F or the SDU-5/E?
2) Is it actually possible to find one that is completely factory-made and completely accurate to the on-screen version?
3) If so, does it really have the "Neo-Flasher" label on it like in the movie or was the addition of the sticker just added by the movie's prop dept?
4) Since this discussion was originated, has anyone discovered a more simple approach to obtaining an accurate screen-used flasher???
Thank You in advance ~ Very glad to be in the presence of such like-minded collectors!

Looks like James found one the batteries are getting harder and harder to find.. been trying to stock one on hand but cost is always an issue! Going to look at updating these decals... James just mailed off ones I had but see if we can not jazz them up more, I know a guy that does great decal work! MORE TO COME!
Ok, I just purchased one of these on ebay with the orange cap, now I am looking to make a label on my laser printer. I see there are are a couple variations of the label unfortunately this thread is soo old the pictures do not load anymore as well as the jaws board link. Does everyone agree that the neo-flasher label used on screen is suppose to have the black tick marks around it? If anyone has the blueray copy I guess there is a good shot of it at 1:24:18:16. I have the ability to print on silver foil paper and I have a vinyl plotter so I can cut the rectangle out perfectly. I just want to get it right on which logo is most screen accurate. Please let me know what the consensus is for the correct label
.
Thanks
. Thanks
Yes... Black ticks are accurate. Here is my vintage flasher with original label 
Yep, real labels. Also used on larger strobe units

Hiya, sorry for the late reply. The logo with the ticks is accurate. I took it from an original label, cleaned it up on adobe illustrator and that's what you see above. If you want a higher res copy of the label let me know. The 2 by 1 3/8th size is accurate too.
