Rectaflex 'Liechtenstein'
The Rectaflex 'Liechtenstein' is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera associated with the Italian Rectaflex marque, produced in very limited numbers and now encountered almost exclusively as a collector item. It sits at the scarce end of the post-war SLR market, where surviving examples surface only occasionally at specialist auction.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rectaflex 'Liechtenstein' have ranged from roughly £1,700 to £3,900, with a median close to £3,600 — wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail. The sample is thin and condition-sensitive, so what a 'Liechtenstein' is worth today depends heavily on completeness and cosmetic state; a clean, matching example sells for a clear premium over a tired one, and values on this model can swing several thousand pounds between sales.
