* This list has taken several years to compile and
while the data were valid at the time of entry, changes in location and ownership may
have occurred since that time. Additionally, I know
of a number of machines whose owners have asked to be excluded from this list - if
you are looking for information on a particular
serial number or Enigma variant which is not listed please contact me by email.
+ The Army/GAF machine is the 'standard', 3-wheel version [Modell
I], used by the German Army and Air Force.
@
It is known from contemporary records that naval Enigmas in the range M501-M1821 were
designated M1 or M2 but the changeover
point from M1 to M2 is unclear. Some M2 machines
listed here may therefore be M1. The first M3 carries the serial number M1822
while the first of the M4 series is M2802.
# 'TIRPITZ' was the code name assigned by Bletchley Park to Enigma
T - a modified Commercial Enigma K supplied by Germany
to the Japanese navy. TIRPITZ has eight wheels,
each of which has five turnover notches.
1 wheels are from two different Navy machines - M1332 [VI, VI],
M1322[VIII]:UKW is A16991
2
wheels are from A18131 [III, V] and A16801 [V]
3
wheels are from M1332 [II, IV, V]
4
wheels are from M3887 [I, III, V]; Gamma from M5520

8 wheels

9
wheels are from A19771 [III & V] and A19811[II]
10 removed from BP
exhibit in mid 1999 and returned to GCHQ. M3097 was later presented [September 16, 2000]
by HRH the Duke of York to Mr. Jerzy Buzek, Prime Minister of
Poland
11 replaces M3097 in BP
exhibit
12 wheels are from
M15700 [II, VI] and M16253 [I]; Beta from M16532; 'Thin' C reflector M5620.
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.
13 one of six
machines built in France in 1940 by the Polish team in exile: it has no s/n but all
wheels,
including the UKW, are engraved 'A' - this machine is,
regrettably, not in working condition: [for a
photograph see 'The Enigma War'; Jozef Garlinski;
Scribners; 1980]
14 wheels are
A02188 [I], A01512 [II], A01834 [III], 10731 [IV] and 18840 [V]

16 wheels are
M8264 [ I, II, V], Gamma from M6927, 'Thin' C reflector M18345. Collection also includes
an
unidentified wheel - metal engraved A-Z - with no serial number
and non-standard wiring and two Army/GAF

20 wheels are
A7403 [II], A13530 [IV], A10224 [V], UKW = D [A11391]

22 K765 is
featured as an illustration in 'Station X' by Michael Smith [Channel 4 Books, 1998] and
wrongly captioned
in early printings as a navy M4
23 the 'Norway'
Enigma is a standard Army/GAF machine, modified for use, post-war, by the Norwegian
Special Branch
[Overvaakingspolitiet] by rewiring of all wheels except the ETW.
The recent discovery that A13526/jla/41 has the
modified wiring suggests that may be other machines listed here
as 'Army/GAF' which are in fact 'Norway' Enigmas.
24 wheels are

60 this machine in
the FMU collection is on public display at the main museum in Akershus Fortress, Oslo.
UKW = B [A01077]
61 wheels are
A8456 [II, III, IV]: UKW = B
62 wheels are all
from A18807 [II, III, IV]: UKW = 'B': A18807 is in the caseof a very early Enigma - A581.
63 wheels are
M15653 [I, II, V]. There is no UKW or Zusatzwalze - instead Wheel IV is installed
in the left-hand position
and has been modified to act as a reflector by crudely soldering wired
links across the plate contacts. Information

70 although,
according to Swiss records, K470 was included in the second batch of machines delivered
on 1 July 1939 it does not appear to have been modified and
remains in its original Commercial configuration
71 There is a
third Enigma at IWM whose serial number is not currently available.
72 this collection
also contains an 'Uhr' box.
73 M897 is accompanied by
its Begleitbuch which shows it to have been on board the pocket battleship
Lützow
[formerly Deutschland] during that ship's service from
1934 until its surrender in 1945. Wheels are all M897
[I, II, III]; UKW = 'B'
74 wheels are from
M983 [I, II, III]; UKW = 'C' [M1146]
75 wheels are from
A2606 [I, II, V]: the collection also contains Navy wheel M8573 [IV].
76 wheels are all
from A10894 [I, II, V]; UKW = 'B'.
77 M2946 was
recovered from the wreck of U-85 on 3 July 2001. At the same time the entire scrambler
assembly of M3131
was recovered. These artefacts are in a remarkably good state of
preservation. With this double recovery all of the wheels
but one from both M2946 and M3131 have been recovered. On 22
August 2002 the rest of M3131 was recovered. For
details see U-85 pages.
78 Though carrying
a Commercial serial number K932 is a bit of a 'hybrid' - wheels are from three different
Army/GAF machines:
A19761 [I], A19811 [IV], A14033 [V]: UKW is 11018 and its index
ring carries 1-26 markings.
79 wheels are
A01174 [I], A02188 [II], A00986 [III], A20719 [IV], A 02192 [V]; UKW='B' [A2229]: spare
wheels in oak box.
80 this machine is
fabricated from metal of the same beige color as A20531 [see note 44].
81 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.
82 wheels are
A12672 [IV, V] and A468 [V]; UKW = 'B' [A11769].
83 cover is of
beige metal construction - similar to A20531. Wheels are all A20567 [I-V]; information
courtesy Dr. Mark Baldwin.
