Fed 'Red Flag'
The FED 'Red Flag' is a Soviet 35mm rangefinder camera produced by the FED factory in Kharkov, Ukraine. It is a scarce variant within the wider FED rangefinder family and is sought primarily by Soviet-camera collectors rather than users.
Auction data for the FED 'Red Flag' is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £480 from December 2010 is all that is recorded here, so any price quoted today is indicative rather than a true market median. As a wholesale auction-hammer figure (excluding buyer's and seller's commission), £480 reflects what one clean example sold for, and what a comparable piece is broadly worth at saleroom level depends heavily on condition, completeness and provenance. Buyers asking what a FED 'Red Flag' sells for in 2026 should treat that figure as a single data point and watch for further results before committing.
Sales History
