Rollei Rolleicord Va Model K3E Type 2
The Rolleicord Va Model K3E Type 2 is a German twin-lens reflex camera that takes 120 roll film and produces 6x6cm square negatives. It sits within the Rolleicord line, the more affordable sibling to the Rolleiflex range, and was offered as a mid-1950s medium-format option for amateur photographers.
With only a single tracked UK auction hammer result on file (£162 in March 2023), the price evidence base for this specific Type 2 variant is thin, so what one is worth today should be read as indicative rather than settled. Hammer results at saleroom level reflect wholesale value before buyer's premium, and clean, working examples typically sell for more than rough or seized bodies. Buyers researching what a Rolleicord Va sells for in 2026 should weigh condition, completeness of caps and case, and shutter accuracy heavily.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Rolleicord Va Model K3E Type 2 worth at UK auction?
On the limited evidence available, a 2023 UK auction hammer price of £162 is the only tracked sale, so current value is best treated as broadly in that region pending more data.
How much does a Rolleicord Va sell for compared with a Rolleiflex?
Rolleicord models, including the Va Type 2, generally sell for less than equivalent-era Rolleiflex TLRs because the Rolleicord line was the lower-priced consumer range when new.
Is the price quoted a retail figure?
No — the £162 figure is a UK auction hammer result, meaning the wholesale price achieved in the saleroom before buyer's premium, not a dealer or retail asking price.
