Total Views: 1,382

A Giant Rarity: The 10-Rotor Enigma Cipher Machine of WWII, c. 1938 The cipher machine whose code system has up to now never been broken! Manufactured as the Secret writer T 52c in 1935 by German Siemens & Halske AG. 10 wheels with 10 different sequences of numbers increasing from 1-47 to 1-73 and already built-in Enigma-clock-type booster with another 20 different frequencies! - That's the technology why - up to now - nobody could beat this system, yet! - Was used only in the top ruling class of the WW II German armed forces and a few embassies (i. e. Sweden and Switzerland). - Only known 6 worldwide (4 in public museums). - Equally a sensational exhibit and collector's item referring to the legendary history of the Enigma and cryptography as well as to the beginning of electro-mechanical computer technology! - The most equipped and advanced model we've ever seen anywhere, and in the best condition, too!
