Reid & Sigrist Reid IIIa Military

{"overview":"The Reid IIIa Military is a British-made 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Reid & Sigrist, a Leitz-derived screw-mount design built in the United Kingdom during the post-war period. Because hammer prices reflect wholesale levels achieved at auction (excluding commissions), retail asking prices from specialist dealers in 2026 typically sit higher, and condition, completeness of military markings, and matching original lens materially affect value.","buying_guide":"Inspect the rangefinder for accurate vertical and horizontal alignment, check shutter speeds across the range for capping or tapering, and look closely at the top-plate and baseplate engravings, since military-marked examples command a premium and re-engraved or composite cameras do appear.
