    Description

    For sale is a reproduction of the 2-piece latch that held the wooden box closed for the WWII German Enigma machine.  The larger piece was installed in the drop-down wooden door, and the small piece was installed in the lid.  When closed, the operator inserted a finger into the dimple and pried the flat piece open, releasing a small detent that was inserted in the small piece.  When installed correctly the small cut in the upper piece faced to the viewer's right.  The 2-piece latch is composed of steel, and has been coated with zinc plating to prevent rust.  The 2-piece latch requires six (6) screws:  four in the large piece and two in the small piece, but they are not provided, since the buyer will decide whether or not to use US SAE/inch or Metric/mm screws.  This 2-piece latch was used in the Enigma machine, the Enigma Uhr box, the 10-line Klappenschrank switchboard, and many other wooden Wehrmacht boxes.  Each 2-piece latch weighs approximately 1-1/2 ounces, but since the US Postal System rounds up instead of down, so the item is listed as 2 ounces.  Shipping for multiple quantities of this item here in the United States will be as follows:  1 - 4, via USPS First Class flat, charged accordingly to number purchased, by weight; 5 - 8, via USPS First Class parcel, charged accordingly to number purchased, by weight; and 9 - 10 via USPS small flat rate box.  Domestic purchases of 11 or more will be via USPS Priority Mail.  IMPORTANT:  Buyers both inside and outside the US purchasing multiples of this item need to use the Add to Cart button option instead of Buy it Now. There should be a "Request Invoice" button in the cart, so by choosing that I can send you an invoice showing the most accurate shipping costs.  Buyers purchasing 10 or more of this 2-piece latch will receive a 20% discount off the price of the latches; shipping costs will remain unaffected by the discount.  The package for international shipment is bigger than the latch to allow for the attachment of customs forms.  Photos courtesy Toadjumper-Militaria.
