Auction has ended - # 6265092168 .

Final price, EUR 55,050, US $66,825.20

About what one would have expected for such a rare piece of history.

Most of them ended up in allied military hands, never to return.

At the end of the war, there was a massive burning of records
at Bletchley Park, much of what we know about Bletchley
was reconstructed from workers' memories much later on.

There was a project to rebuild both Colossus + Bombe decoders.
