Screen accurate, 750 edition and Hamill's signature. Glad I sold my EE. :angelsmil

I hear that, I got one as well, though I have been happy with the Graflex replica that was made for me. :cool:

I would go that route also, but Graflexes are so damn expensive these days. I would want a real one and not a replica. The MR version is a cheap alternative to a real Graflex.

Authentic MPP's, Graflexes, Pracos, and Kobolds are impossible to get now for a reasonable price. The last MPP I was watching went for over $1,000 on Ebay. I remember hearing on RS that the balance pipe for an Obi-Wan ANH went for over $4,000. People who use only found parts for their replicas are really drying up the market for old flashes. It is fun extremely fun to follow threads on people who do this, though.

I just think it's funny that people who chase these pieces could probably save their money up for a screen used piece. I surely hope that the guy who won that balance pipe auction made copies to sell. Otherwise, it seems a bit silly.

Yeah I got mine a little while ago, and it is very nice - I don't think I paid too much for it either (it is a real Graflex too, the stamp is on the heel, etc). :cool:

You mean as in whatever you were able to order is the only allocation you'll get? Is this also the case for the LE?

I guess so. First SE saber I've seen in my time, so I don't know how they do it. LE is different case though.
 
SE edition alway get allocated they are no now longer available on my site because I would rather not have to cancel on someone. Same thing that happend with the Spec Ops helm will go down this saber.

That's not an indicator of it's real. The replicas have that also. The Parks Graflex replicas are virtually indistinguishable from real ones. I've always heard that battery corrosion on the inside and a patent number on the bottom are tell-tale signs of a real Graflex.

Here is an EXCELLENT read on the subject from the RPF:

This site is what a good Graflex replica looks like (Parks). Note that Parks's stuff also has the stamp on the bottom, but is missing a patent number:
