Enigma Machine For Sale

Here's a piece of WWII history for the cryptography fans out there. A museum-quality original Enigma code machine is up for auction on eBay. I'm afraid my German is way too rusty (or rather never that good to begin with) to translate the details of the auction. Luckily for us monoglots, Boing Boing has an article on it as well.

While I'm sure that it will be easier to bring home this machine than it was for the Polish agents who first smuggled examples out of the Nazi Reich, you can still expect this auction to run to well over $10,000 US. Alas, outside of my price range.
