Kershaw Pergrine III

The Kershaw Peregrine III is a British-made folding roll film camera produced by Kershaw of Leeds in the late 1940s. It was positioned as a quality domestic folder during the post-war period when British photographic manufacturing was protected by import restrictions, and it competed at the upper end of the home market.

Hammer prices for the Peregrine III at recent UK auction sit in a wide band: the two most recent 2025 sales closed at £750 and £1,100, while a standout 2022 result reached £3,200. Today the working median sits around £1,100, and buyers in 2026 should read that 2022 figure as an outlier rather than a typical value — what a clean Peregrine III is worth at saleroom level (before buyer's premium) is more reliably indicated by the recent £750–£3,200 spread, skewed toward the lower half.
