Enigma Rotors / Reflectors / Base Plates / Begleitbuchs / Storage Cases / Accessories

 

 

Foreword:

 

If you have any additional information and/or photos regarding Enigma accessories that should be recorded in this file, please get in touch with me (Richard Brisson) at this email address: spytools@sympatico.ca and I will reply back.

 

In mid-2020, I decided to start tracking Enigma serial numbered components and accessories such as rotors, reflectors, storage/transport boxes, chassis, serial plates, rotor boxes, begleitbuchs, etc. These typically come with a serial number “usually” matching the Enigma with which they were issued. In a few cases, Cryptocollectors supplied information as to any Enigma machines or Enigma accessories they have. The main motivation for recording this information stemmed from David Hamer who was a key contributor to cryptologic history research by maintaining a log file which kept track of Enigmas and their locations – his original tracking information can still be accessed online thanks to the Wayback Machine Internet Archive: David Hamer’s Enigma Locations. Significant updates to this file are being maintained by Dan and Tom Perera at this file location.

 

An excellent webpage on Enigma serial numbers (information such as range, padding, manufacturers, etc) is the following written by Frode Weierud:

 

https://cryptocellar.org/enigma/e-prod-history/index.html

 

A number of Cryptocollectors have been very helpful in tracking down Enigma accessories with serial numbers including notably Patrick Hayes, Ralph Simpson, David Cripps, Niall McLaughlin, Detlev Gross, Mark Baldwin, Marc Sachs, Paul Reuvers and Niels Faurholt in addition to whatever I can find on eBay and other auction sites.

 

In July 2021, one of our members of Cryptocollectors (Nick - K4NYW) alerted us about the NSA portal which has been designed to archive all NCM artifacts and library holdings on this website:

 

https://5099.sydneyplus.com/final/Portal/Default.aspx?lang=en-US

 

As of early August 2021, I started adding all Enigma related artifacts with a SN attribute. As far as I know, I have recorded everything Enigma related from the NCM website with links appearing in the list below – simply key on “NCM Artifact” if you wish to only view those that have been added. About 100 such NCM artifacts have now been recorded. And my many thanks to the NCM Librarian, Rob Simpson, for allowing direct links to artifacts based on their “Object ID” – that’s hugely accommodating!

 

There are of course a good number of rich sources for tracking Enigma Serial Numbers (whether Enigma themselves or their parts):

 

a)    First and foremost: David Hamer’s Enigma Locations file which has been enriched in recent years by Dan/Tom Perera;

b)   National Cryptologic Museum’s database (SydneyPlus link above has been a great facilitator!);

c)    Cryptocollectors and their collections;

d)   Cryptocollectors assistance in observing new data/Enigmas on the web or visits to museums;

e)    eBay!

f)     This website on Enigmas in Norway:  https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC623AJ

g)   Wayback Machine with archived information and photos.

 

Definitions:

 

i)                 Core Enigma – Originally issued but without enough original rotors to populate the Enigma itself. Base plate and reflector (if there is one) match serial number.

 

ii)             Mixed Enigma – Enigma that looks functional (may or may not operate – i.e. it has enough rotors (at least one with an S/N different from the machine’s SN) to populate the machine) and may or may not have spare rotors.

 

iii)          Base Enigma – Enigma that looks functional (may or may not operate - i.e. it has enough original rotors (of the same S/N) to populate the machine) but missing some of its spare rotors.

 

iv)           Functionally Complete Enigma – Enigma with all of its issued rotors and all S/N’s matching that of the machine.

 

v)              Ultra-Complete Enigma – For an A3 machine, this would mean that it also has its original spare rotors storage box with the same S/N. For an M4 Enigma, it would have its matching Begleitbuch, and at least one original key to lock the machine (there were normally two issued with each M4); it would also have its original spare rotor box with one original key (there were two of these issued as well). [Obviously no requirement for an original battery!]

 

vi)           R: Relic – damaged from being submerged in water, buried or partially destroyed.

 

vii)       F: Functional     NF: Non-functional.

 

viii)    NCM - “National Cryptologic Museum” (Fort Meade, Maryland, USA).

 

ix)           BP: “Bletchley Park”;

 

x)              Auction Listing specific abbreviations:

Niall McLaughlin visited in February 2022

and shares the following photos:

[Based on the information below that A00017

is an NCM artifact, one conclusion is that it

is on loan from the NCM to the National WWII Museum.

However, there seems to be an oak case with

SN A00017 (see Photo 3 above) seemingly contradicting

David Hamer’s comment of no case below – perhaps

the case was located somewhere else at the time …]

B207

 

Base B-Series B207 Enigma at the National Cryptologic Museum.

Wheels and UKW are all marked B207 [I, II, III]

but the wiring of all wheels except ETW is non-standard

and the UKW is otherwise unmarked.

 

The index markings on all wheels are in red. Photos taken

by Jim Oram of the NCM's B207 Enigma when it was used

in the 1990’s on the museum floor for visitors to play with. 

 

Photos were originally downloaded onto Cryptocollectors

by David Hamer within a zipped file. Needless to stay, any

demonstration Enigma will incur some breakage and it did

for Jim Oram to fix!

 

It was finally realized that this was a

rather special and unique Enigma as the B-Enigma’s

were meant to be used by direct reports to Hitler. More

information can be found below including photographs.

The Swansea Branch Chronicle 7.pdf  (page 16)

Bletchley Park Enigma T244

 

https://bletchleypark.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/555x730_8_CU15.jpg

 

with description:

 

“Enigma T, T244. The Enigma T was developed in 1942 for communications between Germany

and Japan. It was based on the commercially available Enigma K; the Germans did not wish to

supply another power, even an ally, with their military Enigma. Uniquely, the wiring of the entry disc

which connects the keyboard to the rotors was scrambled. Although it had no plugboard, its

encryption was strengthened by additional notches on its rotors. Each notch triggered a ‘turnover’

 in the next rotor along, stepping that rotor ahead by one letter. Whereas most models had one

notch per rotor, the Enigma T had five, resulting in a highly irregular pattern of movement.

The traffic it generated, named JN-18 at Bletchley Park, was rarely intercepted and so difficult to break.”

 

-----

 

Observations from John Alexander (Cryptocollector – 19 Oct 2024):

 

“Popping in for a look at an Enigma at BP, I saw a strong cardboard box with a letter inside from GCHQ

about loaning the contents to BP. Inside the box was an Enigma K ... except that it was stamped T244

(I remember that number correctly?) - a 'Tirpitz' Enigma was in my hands.”

 

“Later, Jim Oram made a beautiful box for the T.”

 

“Anyway, this Enigma T is out on show in B Block ... to the best of my knowledge. Gorgeous.”

“Enigma K, K289. The Enigma K was developed in 1927, just one year after the Enigma D, and

had a very similar design. It could produce 1,782,206,400 possible encryptions. The letter ‘K’

comes from the German Kommerziell (commercial), and many were purchased by German

users – such as the railway. This machine was one of a batch sent from Germany for use by

Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and was used at the military

headquarters in the Canary Islands. An anti-glare panel is stored inside the lid, to shield the

lampboard in strong light.”

https://bletchleypark.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/555x730_9_CU15.jpg

 

with description:

 

“Enigma G, G312. The Enigma G was developed in 1931 and designed to be smaller and more

portable than other models. This machine belonged to the Abwehr, the German military intelligence

service. It was part of the sub-family of ‘Zδhlwerk’ Enigmas, which utilised cog-wheels rather

than the usual levers and pawls to move the rotors. This meant that they could be ‘stepped back’

to correct mistakes, and, uniquely, the reflector moved during encipherment. The Enigma G used a

high number of turnover positions to produce a complex rotor movement, leading to its nickname at

Bletchley Park, the ’11-15-17 machine’.”

Information from Klaus Kopacz:

 

A441 was the only one machine I remember had numbers on the

lamp field, keyboard guiding plate and the contact mounting plate –

pictures are attached. I suppose that it was a common practice to

stamp these parts at early machines. The machines, the parts of A441

were from, were delivered to the „Heereswaffenamt" in Dec. 1927.

Documents from Frode Weierud tell, the machines delivered in

Dec. 1927 were in the number range A386 to A696.

 

Some other interesting details of A441 are shown in these pictures:

A449

 

Initially flagged by Patrick Hayes, this Enigma appears to be an

A-series 3-rotor (appears to be II, III, IV) Enigma

with its location being in Hungary.

The number “449” is inscribed on both inside cover and on top of the Enigma.

Cryptocollector A.T. has identified the following website as the

original story (Hungary):

 

https://www.ha5kdr.hu/2021/01/enigma-szentendrerol

 

This other website provides what appears to be

a step-by-step dissection of this Enigma –

from photos, we have that the reflector is indeed

A449 and there are indications that the metal cabinet

underneath the rotors is stamped “449”.

This Enigma would seem to fall in the category of Enigmas

with mixed SN parts as identified by Klaus Kopacz - the metal

lampboard is stamped A712 as shown in this photo:

with the following description:

 

“Enigma D, A1214. The Enigma D was developed in 1926. It is the earliest model

on display at Bletchley Park, but already more sophisticated than the original design. Its three

rotors, which scrambled letters to create the encryption, could be removed and placed into

the machine in any order. Its reflector, which directed the electrical signal in the machine back

through the rotors, was also settable. This machine was delivered to the Italian Navy in 1932

and used by Benito Mussolini. It was captured in Northern Italy by US Naval Officers

on 29th April 1945.”

Description:

 

“The Enigma is in good, almost untouched condition as found, it was merely cleaned gently and tested.

It is now fully functional mechanically and electronically. The case with the original black lacquer.

Underneath the cover the battery box without battery and without traces of corrosion.

Three identically numbered cipher rotors (I, II and IV) as well as the reflector (a contemporary replacement)

with a different number, each of them made of bakelite with aluminium hand wheel and the Latin letters from A to Z.

The base plate punched with "5773" at the bottom. The keyboard in the usual QWERT order, the keys with

intact glass discs and cover rings. The set of cables complete with twelve original cables. The green disc and the

small integrated bulbs (flat glass bulbs) were re-manufactured specially for the Enigma. The rotary switch is

somewhat loose, but its function is unimpaired. The leather suspension loop of the carrying case was replaced

by a re-manufactured item, the wood shows traces of improper storage and should be cleaned or reworked.

Inside the lid the instruction sign, the labels with serial number "A 5773" and "1937", the replacement lamp

panel and the two defective spare cables.”

machine, the Enigma M4. The Bletchley Park Codebreakers were locked out; the techniques and

used three moving rotors, chosen from a possible eight, plus an additional non-moving rotor,

chosen from a possible two, as well as a plugboard. These improvements gave

60,176,864,903,260,346,841,600,000 possible encryptions.  It took 9 months for the

Codebreakers to break into Enigma M4 traffic, known as ‘Shark’, giving access to vital

Atlantic U-boat communications.”

Oak Box / Case with SN M7458

Fair condition with part of the paper instruction in inside cover

 

Commentary from Neils F:

 

“Some time ago a wooden box was bought on a flea market on the island of Moen

in Eastern Denmark for the equivalent of 6 dollars. It had been used as a tool box.

It came to the attention of a local auction house. It was identified as an Enigma M4

wooden box, belonging to Enigma M7458. According to the local press the box was

sold to a Danish collector for the equivalent of 1650 dollars. Enigma M7458 is not

known in the records, and no trace of the Enigma itself was found. The box is stamped

Kommando der Marine Station der Ostsee like most other M4 Enigmas found in Denmark.”

Interesting side commentary on this Enigma ...

In the 1979 mini-series “The Man Called Intrepid”,

Sir William Stephenson (played by David Niven)

is seen working with this A11463 3-rotor Enigma.

The Enigma was likely loaned out by a private collector

who sold it to the Jersey museum in the mid 1990’s.

M15648

 

Relic Enigma M15648

On display at the Park of Military History in Slovenia

 

Its story is covered in:

 

https://groups.io/g/cryptocollectors/files/ASHS-33-2023-1_Gaspari-et-al..pdf

 

It includes the following passages:

 

In 1984–1986, Zvonimir Kralj, diver and keeper of the Piran Aquarium, recovered the Enigma cipher machine with codebook and several other items from the wreck of the German minesweeper R 15 sunk off the west coast of Istria between Savudrija and Umag.

…

 

With direct observation and an xCT scan, it was possible to discern the following configuration

and settings of the rotors from left to right:

 

•         type-C reflector (UKW-c); label »C.«; serial number »M 15648«;

•         so-called extra rotor (Zusatzwalze), Gamma version; label »γ«; serial number »M15648«; external position – Grundstellung: P;

•         rotor »III«; serial number »M 15648«; external position; F;

•         rotor »VI«; serial number »M 15648«; external position; E;

•         rotor »IV«; serial number »M 15648«; external position; Y;

•         plugboard: at the time when it was last used, 10 of the 13 pairs of sockets were connected, but the cables have disintegrated, which is why the combinations of the occupied plugs could not be reconstructed. Out of the 26 sockets, 6 were unoccupied with plugs. These were: 1 (A), 5 (E), 7 (G), 9 (I), 19 (S), 26 (Z

 

Thank you Gaspari!

From information in David Hamer’s Enigma Location File

and also contains a special entry:

 

“M15700 [VI] is non-standard in that, while it contains

the wired core of M15700 [VI], it has the

     single-notch ring of an unidentified Wheel III [notch is at ‘D’] –

clearly engraved with the number ‘3’.

     Obviously, any Walzenlage which includes this wheel will not

provide an output of meaningful ciphertext or plaintext.”

with description:

 

“Enigma I, A16992. Captured Enigma machines were brought to Bletchley Park for research.

This example was heavily modified by the Codebreakers. The plugs have been removed

and a small plugboard added to the left side of the case. This appears to have altered the

wiring of the reflector, possibly to test the effect of changing reflector wiring on the

machine’s encryption.”

Would appreciate any information relevant to M6644.

The rest of my collection is made up of separate non-serial number parts (keyboard, steckers, Uhr box, Schreibmax etc).

If you have machine A00454 please call me!!! No trace of it anywhere.

Have rotors - need machine!

 

I also have a keen interest in Enigma M6644 whether in relic or used condition!
