New Reproduction Graflex Hilts
« on: August 25, 2015, 11:06:57 AM »
We have been very fortunate to team up with an engineer from UK F1 to make an all new Graflex reproduction hilt.
The finish will be top quality with accurate detailing, also included will be a 1" blade socket with integrated mom switch for the slider and a top red button switch.
First batch will be EP7, when we start full production there will be ANH and ESB available.
More details soon:-)



Yes, there is an error on the flyer ;D

I am already interested in picking one up when ready!
I have been waiting for this announcement.

Do you have a set price at this point?
Will you be taking deposits?

What is the approximate price point?  I'm concerned about the conversion rate from GBP.

Stainless steel?  That's exciting!  I'll be after one of these for sure.  Of course, sharing the curiosities expressed above. . .

As for the tells I see so far...

The pin on the bunny ears is not a smooth headed rivet.
Glass eye is a thumbscrew.

The minor tells on the top should be enough. However it's a vintage clamp and bottom that have the highest demand so it will be interesting to know what those tells might be.

It really looks great. These are going to be top of the line!
