The "real thing" -same as the vintage Graflex prop used as light sabers in the first Star Wars film. Director George Lucas repurposed vintage chromed steel flash bulb units from big 1940's press cameras; this is the same rare piece of hardware.
Save millions$! The recent auction of the one used by Darth Vader in the next two films of the original trilogy sold for $3.65 million. That item is the same as mine but with a few black cosmetic elements added by the movie prop makers.
All brushed chrome steel, the desirable version with the polished glass lens "eye" button (reflects light like a crystal ball, very cool), and original side mount. Feels great in the hands and has satisfying authentic old school heft. A great gift for the Star Wars fan or film buff.
Priced for quick sale at $379.
