I know that many versions of the Enigma were sold commercially.
They were not rare, at least some of the versions that Hadmut
lists.

Since I worked professionally writing software ciphers, I have
thought over the years that owning an Enigma sample would be cool.
Assuming that private collectors can own one, and that the price
is less than that of a small house. Sort of like buying one
of the Beatles' guitars.

Does anyone know if there is a legal collector's market for Enigma 
machines?

thanks
pat
