He (Tom Perera) shows up at all the local swapmeets, and has various WWII Enigmas, Russian "Fialka" machines and others on display (and for sale). At one time he had some US WWII M-209s for sale for crazy money (around $3K). He just about had "an impromptu bowel movement" when I told him about the one I scored for $25 at a hamfest several years earlier... Yup, I still have it...
