I'm a bit confused.

Graflex or Vintage Graflex, whats the difference?
I thought I had to purchase a Vintage because thats what they used in the movie.
Is Yoda selling this Vintage versions or is Yoda using MR Anakins for that and rebuild them.
I hope not because those are not that acurate in size.
I have to say that I dont care so much for the Vintage name on the bottom.
I even don't mind to have extra holes in the bottom iff that makes the sound much louder, but I do want that Graflex saber to be acurate in size.

I must say that I never here anyone complaning for that matter but still,... I like to know.

I supply the Replicas for those who want them which is what the list is composed of ;)

...but for a Vintage I only take send ins because the vintages I have
go to ebay like my negotiators and ambassadors.

Thank you Yoda for the fast reply, I know that you're very bussy.
Thats why I didn't write this directly point to you. No offence.
It's still not that clear to me. (maybe I have to read more topic)

The replica's,.. they have noting to do with Master Replica?

Do you have Graflex replica's that are exact like the Vintage, but not from Vintage?
Or do I have to purchase a Vintage if I want a 1:1 scale

I read so much Graflex without Vintage.
It's a bit confusing to me.

No problem...

Correct the Replicas have nothing to do with master replicas.  :D

They are the most accurate duplications of the original graflex design and are basically a newly made functioning
camera flash when I first get them from Parks.
He has Hilts on His site built up in the way he liked to do them.

The Vintage obviously much older being from 1930-1945 and are more of a collectors item.

Replicas are new metal and better if used for more frequent dueling and look new like the MR LE hilts.
Vintage are more for the occasional Duel and primarily for show and display because of their age and value.
In either case I start with a bare flash and style it for the appropriate ANH or ESB look.

Also when you buy a completed saber form me using a replica it's cost is discounted and included in the overall cost
so when it comes to replicas it is best to get them through me for a completed system order.
( I also quality control them by doing this as well )

Send ins are primarily The Vintage Graflexs people have that they want professionally converted int one of my
working systems.

Graflex is just a kind of flash used by photographers. This was used to make the props for Luke during the filming of SW. The original/ vintage graflex flashes were made by Folmer Graflex Company or something, and have since gone out of production.

However replicas are being made, and are used to make both flashes or converted into saber hilts. Although both the vintage and replicas look nearly the same, the vintage gives a more aged and used look, more true to the original and the storyline. (Luke's saber being used by Anakin for many years and then stored for some years by Ben.)

Since then, saber hilts based on the Graflex, has simply been referred to as such.

*Note: This statement is made by someone that only know slight something about anything or nothing ;) *
