Graflex 3 Cell Red Button Flash Tube w/ Reflector - Star Wars Luke's Lightsaber

The Graflex 3-Cell Flash Handle is a legendary piece of photographic and cinematic history. Originally designed as a flashgun to pair with Graflex Speed Graphic press cameras, this exact model gained fame far beyond the newsroom—it was famously repurposed as the base for Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber in the original Star Wars trilogy. With its red button, clamp, and iconic lines, this is the variant that collectors and prop builders seek out.

This unit includes the original clamp, red button, and flash reflector, making it an ideal display piece or starting point for a screen-accurate lightsaber build. Whether you're a vintage photography enthusiast or a Jedi-in-training, this Graflex flashgun has undeniable presence and character.

Condition: Good

This Graflex 3-Cell Flash Handle is in good condition with noticeable cosmetic wear consistent with age and use. The red button, clamp mechanism, and reflector are all intact. There’s some minor scuffing and surface oxidation in a few areas, but nothing that detracts from its function or display value. A fantastic example of this iconic accessory.
