This is an Enigma coding machine, used to send cyphered messages from the U-Boats to their base during WWII
A message was recently decrypted after having been an ...enigma for the oast 60 years
Look at this one [www.uboatwar.net]

No way! I checked it out with every possible keyword or search, and I can't find it. I cannot imagine something of such great historical signifigance and value ending up on Ebay.

Cool. I just love stuff like this. Reading the auction listing, it appears that someone got it from his grandfather. What a treasure!

I have part of a nose gear cylinder and ID plate from a P38 Lightning found in the Phillipines. Maybe I should auction that?
