ORIGINAL METAL CASES AND PARTS FOR ENIGMA
(General Comments):
This is a complete and original WW-2 German Army Enigma cipher machine in good
working condition. The serial number 18,660 indicates that it was made during
the latter part of the war. The three basic rotors, I, II, and III are
included. To ensure that the Enigma works properly, each of the rotors and
the reflector has been remanufactured to original specifications using at
least some original parts.
Although it is over 60 years old, this Enigma machine is in in good working
condition. To allow the buyer to use the Enigma immediately, a battery holder
that accepts standard flashlight batteries is included. Also included are an
exact reproduction of the impossible-to-find original 4-volt Enigma battery, a
copy of the original manual and a CD-ROM called "The Story of the Enigma:
History, Technology, and Deciphering". Two additional rotors numbered IV and
V were often used to increase the security of the machine. These two rotors
enclosed in an exact replica of their original carrying case are available as
an option.
This machine was used in a protected environment by the German Army During the
war. Since it was in such good condition, it was then selected for use by the
German Secret Police (Bundes Nachrichten Dienst - BND) after the war. The BND
maintained the machine and rebuilt the outer box during that time. After the
success of the Polish and British codebreakers in deciphering Enigma messages
was finally made public 35 years after the end of the war, the BND sold this
machine to a German who has had owned it since then.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THESE ENIGMAS:
This is a complete and original WW-2 German Army Enigma Cipher Machine in good
cosmetic and working condition. The serial number of this machine is 726
showing that it is one of the earliest known to have survived the war. It is
an exceptionally interesting machine for this reason.
The three basic rotors, I, II, and III are included. The two additional
rotors IV and V are also included in an excellent reproduction of the
original wooden 2-rotor case. This makes a complete set of 5 rotors with
serial numbers that match that of the machine. Each rotor has been
remanufactured to original specifications to bring the Enigma back into
operating condition using as many of the original parts as possible.
Although it is over 60 years old, this Enigma machine is in in good working
condition. To allow the buyer to use the Enigma immediately, a battery holder
that accepts standard flashlight batteries is included. This allows operation
of the Enigma without the impossible to find original 4-volt Enigma battery.
Also included are a reproduction of the original manual and a CD-ROM entitled
"The Story of the Enigma: History, Technology, and Deciphering".
This machine was apparently used indoors during the war so it has none of the
corrosion typically seen inside WW-2 Enigma Machines. After the war the
Enigma was used by the German secret police (the "BND") and maintained by them
in working condition until it was sold to the man who stored it in his attic
until now. This is one of the cleanest and most historically significant
Enigmas to have survived the war.

This is the M-209B Cipher Machine that was used by the American Military
throughout WW-2 and that was never successfully deciphered by an enemy. It is
a small, easily concealed device with which plaintext is entered by a wheel on
the left and corresponding ciphertext is printed on a roll of paper tape for
transmission or delivery to a destination. This machine is in good used
condition. The expected machine is similar to but not the same as that
shown in the photos.

After the end of WW-2, The Swiss produced a number of NEMA Cipher Machines
which were essentially modernized copies of the WW-2 German Enigma. The
machines use the same encoding strategy but have an additional feature in the
form of a remote light panel that allows the deciphered message to be read by
an officer without the person typing in the ciphertext being able to see
it.

This very rare Russian M-125 FIALKA Cipher Machine is patterned after the
original German Enigma but it is much more complex and secure. It has 10
internally adjustable counter-rotating rotors, a 5-level paper tape reader,
punch, and an inking printer. It accepts programming information through a
card reader on the left side. It uses a separate 24v power supply that is
included. These Russian cipher machines remained top secret until very
recently. They are still being used. The following photos are of a FIALKA
that is very similar to the one being offered.

of a Russian M-125-3MN Fialka, its rotors, rotor wiring, and manual can be

This is a very small and interesting burst encoder set which can easily be
concealed in a pocket. It is used to write coded signals from a telephone-
type dial input onto a stainless steel tape in a cassette. The tape cassette
can be removed from the Encoder and mounted on a transmitting unit where the
tape is run at a very high speed producing a burst of encoded data that keys
a radio transmitter and broadcasts a very short transmission containing the
entire coded message. These extremely short and fast messages are difficult
for an enemy to receive since they are only on the air for a very short time.
The short duration of the message burst also makes it difficult for the enemy
to use direction finding radios to pinpoint the location of the
transmitter. These photographs show a burst encoder that is very similar to
the one being offered.
The coding unit (with the dial) writes the magnetic pulses onto the tape by
direct magnetic induction without the use of any electronic circuitry. Each
dialed-in character rotates a series of permanent magnets past the tape. This
writes the pulses onto the tape and at the end of the dial's rotation, it
advances the tape. This makes the pocket encoder independent of any power
sources and completely portable.
This Hagelin/Crypto AG CD-57 ( Nato C-1-0 ) handheld 6-rotor pocket cipher
machine was manufactured in Switzerland. It shows a level of complexity and
superb machining that is similar to that seen in the CURTA series of pocket
calculators. It is entirely mechanical and uses no electricity in its
operation. It employs 6 interchangeable and internally adjustable rotors
similar to those of an Enigma. First, the day's key must be set up in the
machine. Then, to encipher a message, a plaintext letter is set at the top of
the dial using the manually rotatable outer black ring. The finger operated
lever is then squeezed and the resulting ciphertext letter is read on the
inner dial. To decipher a message, the ciphertext letter is set on the outer
dial and the plaintext is read from the inner dial. It is cryptologically
compatible with the Hagelin C-52 system. The machine is very small measuring
only 5-1/8 X 3-1/8 X 1-1/2 inches and weighing only 1.5 pounds. It easily fits
into a pocket. The NATO Stock Number is: 5810-0-100-1088. This is an early
model of the Hagelin Cipher Machine in excellent condition.
This Transvertex handheld 5-rotor pocket cipher machine was manufactured by
Transvertex in Sweden and used by the Swedish Government. It is a very
interesting machine. Not much is known about them. Most people think they
were developed and made by "HAGELIN" but they were actually made by
Transvertex in Sweden. It is difficult to figure out how they work because
they work in a manner that is similar to, but significantly different from
that used by Hagelin machines in order to ensure that they would not interfere
with the Hagelin patents.

This is a very small burst encoder set which can easily be concealed
in a pocket. It is used to send extremely high speed bursts of ciphertext
messages in the international Morse Code. These extremely short and fast
messages are difficult for an enemy to receive since they are only on the air
for a very short time. The short duration of the message burst also makes it
difficult for the enemy to use direction finding radios to pinpoint the
location of the transmitter. The coding unit (on the right) punches Morse
coded holes in a tape which is then sent in a short, high speed burst, by the
spring driven sending unit (on the left) { SOLD }.
This is a very complex and interesting burst encoder set which operates on
internal batteries and can input, store and send encoded messages at a very
high speed producing a burst of encoded data that keys a radio transmitter and
broadcasts a very short transmission containing the entire coded message.
These extremely short and fast messages are difficult for an enemy to receive
since they are only on the air for a very short time. The short duration of
the message burst also makes it difficult for the enemy to use direction
finding radios to pinpoint the location of the transmitter. Disassembly of
the device reveals a rather unique set of printed circuit boards that are
hinged at the back and open like a book for servicing.
Hitler's War Yacht Grille was used by Hitler and other German officers during
WW-2. The above picture and many more as well as a detailed history of the

HISTORICAL NOTE:
The Allied forces were ordered to destroy all German Enigma Machines at the
end of WW-2. Therefore, they are exceptionally hard to find. When an Enigma
is no longer needed in the colletion and museum, it will be listed on this
website so you may want to check back every few months if the machine you want
is not available.
Since Original German Eigmas like these
are extremely rare and hard to find, the prices paid in several recent sales
of Enigmas have been widely publicised and consequently, the values of Enigmas
have increased dramatically. Most recently a 3-rotor German Army WW-2 Enigma
sold at open auction by Christie's for $ 208,000 US Dollars. With the buyer's
premium factored in, this means that the buyer paid almost $ 250,000 US
Dollars for it. Just a few years ago a 3-rotor German Army Enigma in as-is
condition with missing parts sold for a final price of $ 125,400 USD. Another
3-rotor German Army Enigma without even any of it's light bulbs was sold for $
124,500. All Enigmas sold on this website are in working condition (see note
below:).
Original German Enigma machines are over 60 years old. All of the Enigmas
offered here are in basically working condition and can be refurbished
further. Perfect operation on every keypress cannot be guaranteed due to
the German's use of brass-on-brass contacts rather than gold, silver or
platinum.

MATCHED SET OF TOTALLY UNMARKED LATE WW-2 ENIGMA ROTORS:
VERY RARE ADJUSTABLE "D" REFLECTOR FOR WW=2 ENIGMAS:
As the war progressed, the Germans worried about the possibility that the
Allies might be able to decipher their Enigma-coded messages. Since all of
the Enigmas had reflectors with fixed internal wiring that could not be
changed they designed a reflector with wires that could be unplugged from one
connection and plugged into another. Luckily for the Allies, very few of
these "D" reflectors were put into service. This is one of the rarest of the
Enigma variations.
(Price upon Request)
Reflectors in general are considerably harder to find than rotors due to the fact that they were screwed into Enigmas and only one was made for each Enigma. It is not known how many "D" reflectors were made but they are exceptionally difficult to find.

ENIGMA PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
ORIGINAL ENIGMA METAL CASES:
German Enigma Machines were enclosed in several different kinds of cases.
These metal cases provided extra protection to the mechanisms during field
operations. They were also used by the Luftwaffe for their Enigmas. If you
do not want to invest in an Enigma machine, the original case for an Enigma
would be a very impressive and inexpensive addition to any collection.
