CONDITION: Fine overall with mild wear
including some thin cracks in the oak case and
a few minor parts absent. Not mechanically
tested. This historic device was a key piece of
German military equipment during World War
II and was used to encrypt communications.
The breaking of the Enigma machine and
codes is widely credited with hastening the
defeat of Germany and thus saving millions
of lives. This is an incredibly rare opportunity
to add an extremely scarce and important
historical artifact to your collection.
