Kershaw Peregrine II
The Kershaw Peregrine II is a British-made folding camera produced in the post-war era by Kershaw of Leeds. It was positioned as an affordable medium-format folder aimed at the domestic amateur market.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Peregrine II have varied widely, with recorded sales ranging from £44 to £420 and a median around £140. As of 2026, the low end reflects tatty user-grade examples at saleroom level, while the upper figure was an outlier result from 2018; today most clean, complete examples tend to sell for values closer to the middle of that band rather than the top.
