Pignons Alpa 11si PIN black
The Alpa 11si is a 35mm SLR produced by Pignons SA of Ballaigues, Switzerland, the final development of the long-running Alpa reflex line introduced in the post-war decades. The PIN black variant is a late-production version finished in black with a PIN-engraved designation, made in very small numbers for a specialist clientele.
Auction data for this exact variant is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom hammer price on file is £2,800 in November 2016, which sets the reference point for what a black PIN-marked 11si has fetched at auction. As of 2026 there is not enough recent activity to quote a reliable range or median, and condition, completeness and provenance heavily influence what any given example sells for today.
