Voigtlander& Sohn Bergheil 6.5x9
The Voigtländer Bergheil 6.5x9 is a folding plate camera taking 6.5x9cm sheet film or plates. It is a pre-war German field camera produced by Voigtländer & Sohn for serious amateur and professional use.
Evidence of what a Bergheil 6.5x9 is worth in today's UK auction market is thin: a single recorded hammer result from October 2024 saw an example sell for £120 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). With only one data point, this should be treated as indicative of price rather than a firm market value, and condition, completeness of the original lens and shutter, and the presence of accessories such as plate holders or a rollfilm back can move results materially in either direction.
