What it is
The Reid I Military is a British-made 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Reid & Sigrist in Leicester. It is a military-marked variant within the Reid series, based on the company's Leica-derived rangefinder design built in England during the post-war period.
Inspect the shutter for accurate slow speeds and an even curtain action, as cloth shutters of this era commonly develop pinholes and capping faults. Check that military markings, broad-arrow stamps, and engravings are original and unpolished, since refinished bodies lose a significant premium. Rangefinder alignment, lens-mount condition, and matching original-specification lenses all affect value, and service support is limited to specialist repairers familiar with Reid and Leica screw-mount mechanisms.

Questions
What affects the price and value of a Reid I Military?
Originality of military markings, shutter health, and overall cosmetic condition drive price; refinished or mechanically tired bodies fetch noticeably less than clean, unaltered examples.
