Pignons Alpa Standard

The Alpa Standard is a 35mm film SLR made in Switzerland by Pignons SA. It belongs to the early Alpa Reflex family, a small-production Swiss line aimed at the high-end amateur and professional market in the post-war period.

UK auction hammer results for the Alpa Standard are sparse, with recorded sales spanning roughly £360 to £2,300 — wholesale prices realised in the saleroom rather than retail asking figures. With only two data points, no reliable median can be quoted, and today the price a given example fetches depends heavily on cosmetic condition, mechanical function and whether a lens is included. Buyers researching what an Alpa Standard is worth or sells for in the current market should treat any single figure as indicative only.
