When was this stolen? I believe that I saw something similar to this for
sale
at a gun show within the last year.

<< Everyone
 
 I have the following additional information about the stolen Enigma
Machine:
 
 The Serial # of the Abwehr machine is G-312...
 The 3 wheels are similarly marked G-312 [I, II, III].
 
 One easy way to recognise an Abwehr machine is by the counter (like a car
 odometer), above the keyboard on the right. This gave the number of letters
 enciphered. The Abwehr Enigma was therefore also known as the "counter
 Enigma" or the "Zählwerke" machine.
