First debuting in 1918, the portable Enigma encryption machine was picked up by the Germans in WWII to encipher military radio messages & hide them from the Allied codebreakers' ears.
Not many of these babies are still in existence today, however if you've got a spare $30,000 AUD in your pocket, you may just be able to pick yourself up an original when the hammer comes down on this incredible eBay one-off in a few days.
Considering, however, that the price has jumped another few thousand during the typing of this post alone, you may, instead, wish to build your own.
