Enigma machine heads for Eur40k

Wow. What claims to be an authentic WWII German Enigma machine is just about to top Eur40,000 as of Sunday night. The eBay auction is set to end Monday. The portable encryption machine, made in 1941, is similar to the ones cracked by British code breakers at Bletchley Park. The machine is claimed to be the genuine article, but serial numbers which could prove its provenance have been removed. Some reports suggest the price, for a three rotor Enigma at least, is a little high.
