Only known 6 worldwide - 4 in public museums. The most equipped and advanced model seen anywhere, and in great condition. It should not be described as Enigma, nothing to do with it. But it is a very rare 10 rotor cipher machine, as it says a Siemens and Halske T52. A bargain at 70,000 Euros though (also available FREE as a software version on my website)

This one?: From the estate of the recently passed Mr Sale? I would not think so. Tony worked on the film as a consultant, including a visit from Mr Jagger to sort out his personal machine. Whether this is it, I don't know. It was owned privately is all we know. Incidentally, the 'Norway' description means it was one of the machines rewired post war in Norway - so it will not decode German Enigma messages! (but I know a man who can). Lots of crypto stuff got left there when the huns went home. In mainland Europe, such stuff was quickly rounded up by US and British intelligence.
Sorry Geoff, I somehow missed out the link to the page that stuff in the quotebox came from (though I'm sure you know it) : Locations Last updated in 2005, and I also failed to notice that all-important 'via' in the quote.
