SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PRICES:
Original German Eigma cipher machines
are extremely rare and hard to find, The Navy Enigmas were made in smaller
numbers than those of the Army and Airforce so they are even harder to find.
Using the Army 3-rotor Enigma as an example, 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. The remaining German Navy Enigmas are much rarer and the few that have sold
have brought prices considerably higher than those brought by Army and Airforce
Enigmas.
ORIGINAL GERMAN WW-II KREIGSMARINE M4 4-ROTOR ENIGMA CIPHER MACHINE:
(Price upon request)
This is a complete and original WW-II German M4 4-Rotor Navy (Kreigsmarine)
Enigma in good condition. The serial number 18,316 indicates that it
was made during the later part of the war. All of the rotors and the
reflector carry the same serial number as the main machine.
This machine was used by the German Navy during WW-II but, unlike most marine
Enigmas that went to the bottom of the ocean, it escaped any
major damage and has been stored since the end of the war.
It is unusual to find an Enigma that was actually used during WW-II in such
good condition and with all rotors and reflector carrying the same serial
number as the main Enigma. It is also very unusual to find an Enigma that was
used by the Kreigsmarine since most did not survive the war. These factors
combine to make this an Enigma that is of great importance to historians and
collectors.
The following pictures show different views of the
machine:
