This is a collection of relic and unearthed battlefield-found parts from Enigma machines discovered decades after WWII.
1) Enigma Rotor part – Metal thumbwheel from Enigma I rotor.
2) Enigma Rotor fragment – Bakelite fixed contact plate from Enigma I rotor with original wires attached.
3) Enigma Rotor fragment – Bakelite contact plate from spring-loaded side of Enigma I rotor.
4) Stecker Cable with Plugs – On the front of the Enigma I (a.k.a. Heeres or Army Enigma) is a plug board (Steckerboard). Enigma machines were supplied with Stecker cables to further the encryption security of the Enigma. This Stecker cable has both plugs and shows signs of significant wartime use.
5) Fragment of light bulb panel assembly – Spring loaded metal contacts on to which Enigma light bulbs were screwed down.
This collection of relic Enigma parts was unearthed from battlefields near Stalingrad. German soldiers had orders to destroy Enigma machines rather than have them captured by advancing Allied forces. All pieces in this collection show signs of significant use and/or exposure to the elements. All parts are offered “as found” and not working (see pictures below). The hardwood, lockable glass display case is included, along with a letter of authenticity from Enigma Museum certifying that these pieces are from Enigma machines. The relic Enigma parts are not secured to the display case so that they can be handled and inspected. The pieces can be placed anywhere desired in the display case. To mount the display case on a wall, one would have to secure the relic pieces to the display case base. The outside dimensions of the display case are 9 1/2″ x 12″ x 2″. A key for the lock on the display case is included.
Parts Collection with display case = $799 USD
Parts Collection without display case = $750 USD
