LOT OF 10Unused- unopenedThese are the papers made to fit the M-209 code machine.The M-209-A is a portable hand-operated mechanical cipher machine for the US Army. This rotor-based cipher machine does not require electricity and is lightweight and durable. Therefore, it was perfectly suited for tactical front line use. While the code generated by the M-209 was not as strong as the Enigma code, and was generally being read within 4 hours by the Germans, it was considered secure enough for tactical messages that were of no value after that length of time. The US military used the M-209-A in both the Europe and the Pacific during World War II. The M-209 cipher machines were easy to use and produce and were used by the US Army well into the Korean War.International bidders - please be aware that I will be shipping priority mail.
