The error on the flyer shows an ANH not the TFA.
As far as we know the TFA has an ANH front with an ESB rear.

Don't think these can be passed off a genuine as they won't have any flashgun internal parts just a ready made blade holder.
As for comparing to the original, we have tried really hard to get it 100% but there is always something, we will double check on the bolt head for the bunny ears.
Haven't got a final price yet, still some supplies to be sorted, we are aiming for £250 for Euro customers and £210 for US, it may be a little more.
The price includes an anodised blade holder with switch for the slider, a top red button switch and a glass eye thumbscrew:-)
Re speaker vents, we plan on cutting hidden slots under the Kobold ring holder for the TFA and ESB when in full production, we may be able to add some shallow grooves under the ANH ring
holder and add hidden vents there. We want to keep the purity:-)

As for chrome, sure why not, we can do a side run of chromed hilts if there is a demand ;D

Selling, we have the first run to shift a bit sharpish so I will make a listing on FX, funds from this will pay for the next run, when these are available they will go on our new Sabers Emporium page at JQ site, at last we are going to have drop down menus, click and buy with CC facilities, more on this soon.

Is the square nut for the sidebar opposite the lever going to be press fit or welded in the sidebar?





Edit: For clarity.

210 GBP  = $326.87 USD as of today.  I knew the conversion rate would be a problem, but for that price, one might as well buy a vintage Graflex.

Good work on this, and all, but that price is too high for me, at least.

210 Euro to USD is $240. Still a lot but not terrible given it comes converted and with sound holes.

We don't use Euro in the UK. We use Sterling Pounds (GBP). Jm419 is correct on the conversion.

Price wise, sure we would like to do it for less but these figures are based on a  100 hilt production, small beer it terms of price breaks and these aren't made in China.
We are confident that the extra parts and the fine level of finishing will make these great value :D

Personally I think the price is spot on for the quality and time put into these
Hilts, if you think about it conversion wise it's the same for folks in the uk
buying a hilt from America and then customs charges at this side too.

Daren and Susan, do a fantastic job and I'll say the customer service is top notch, maybe I'm biased? But I love the sabers produced by this small company.

Googd luck finding a mint complete real graphlex for this price. And then adding the conversion work to make a TFA version your looking at over 1000 bucks before install. This price is spot on. And you get it cheaper than us in the UK as you don't have to pay the VAT we do. These will sell like hot cakes.
I don't know, i gotta bad feeling about this!
