Pignons Alpa 10d (green, black)
The Alpa 10d is a Swiss-made 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Pignons SA of Ballaigues. It belongs to the Alpa 10-series of mechanical SLRs aimed at the high-end professional and enthusiast market.
With only one UK auction record on file — a hammer price of £1,400 in November 2019 — there is insufficient data to establish a reliable median or range for what an Alpa 10d in green and black is worth today. That figure reflects a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail asking price, and condition, completeness and cosmetic finish heavily influence what comparable examples sell for.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Alpa 10d (green, black) worth at UK auction?
Based on the single recorded sale in our data, an example sold for £1,400 hammer in 2019; with only one data point this should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable market price.
How much does an Alpa 10d sell for today?
There are no recent UK auction results for the green-and-black 10d in our dataset for 2026, so a current price cannot be stated with confidence.
Why is the value of an Alpa 10d hard to pin down?
Alpa SLRs were produced in small numbers and coloured-finish variants appear infrequently at auction, meaning sample sizes are too small to derive a stable price range.
