Regarding machining marks inside the GRAFLEX model

■ Regarding discoloration and processing marks inside the hilt

When looking inside the grip of a GRAFLEX model, you may notice brown discoloration or speckled patterns.
At first glance, these may look like rust on the metal, but they are not rust or defects; they are "processing marks (specifications)" that inevitably occur during the manufacturing process.

■ Mechanism of occurrence

In order to achieve the realism of the prop, the hilt of this product is made of brass, and its surface is electroplated to give it a silver finish. During the plating process, the acidic liquid that seeped into the inside of the tube may not completely disappear (during the drying process), and this is what causes these marks.

■Product specifications and individual differences

These internal processing marks are not a defect found only in certain units, but are a common feature of almost all 89 Sabers GRAFLEX units currently on the market.
We have confirmed that the products we have in stock are in the same internal condition.

This does not affect functionality or durability in any way, so you can use it with confidence.

■Comparison with other companies' products

This phenomenon is not limited to 89 Sabers products, but is a common feature of GRAFLEX replicas made using realistic brass material.
Replica manufacturers such as "The Graflex Shop" and "Roman Props," world-famous custom saber brands, also use the same internal finish.

We hope you will understand that this is a ``mark of manufacturing'' that results from placing importance not only on the beauty of the surface, but also on the weight and texture of the material.
