I know that many versions of the Enigma were sold commercially.
They were not rare, at least some of the versions that Hadmut
lists.
Since I worked professionally writing software ciphers, I have
thought over the years that owning an Enigma sample would be cool.
Assuming that private collectors can own one, and that the price
is less than that of a small house. Sort of like buying one
of the Beatles' guitars.
Does anyone know if there is a legal collector's market for Enigma
machines?
thanks
