Bizarre. Ebay does not allow me to see that item. It says "due to
restrictions in your home country" which is utter nonsense. It's
possible that the UK has export restrictions, but that's not what it
said...

What does it actually show? Standard Enigmas have 3 wheels, but a few
had four, so if it's a four wheel unit it's a possibility that it
could be a WW2 unit.
