A The machine was one of only three in the world An antiques dealer has
admitted handling a stolen code-breaking Enigma machine, worth
£100,000.
The machine in question is an Abwehr Enigma, a variant of the basic
design. (There were a fair number of variants, in fact.)
Are you sure
Only 3 in the world? I don't think so. At the last RSA conference, the
NSA had a historical 'museum', including an enigma. The woman
running it said there were at least 40 still around.
I know one firm which has two of them, along with various other
historical crypto HW.
