Faberge Enigma Egg

Faberge Enigma Egg

The Faberge jewellery, founded in 1842 in St Petersburg by Gustav Faberge, is known for the St Petersburg collection and its famous beautiful designed eggs.

Sarah Faberge, the latest family member of the Faberges is asked to make an Enigma egg. Inside the blue with gold egg there is an Enigma M3 in silver and gold, complete with opening lid. A limited number of 50 eggs will be sold to raise £100,000 for the Bletchley Park Trust. With a price of £3,500 it is far cheaper than the real Enigma, but with its limited number it's even more rare than the real machine. No need to say this will be a unique collectors item.

Bletchley Part unveiled the Enigma Egg, on Thursday February 14. On that page more inforation about the egg, its goals and  how to contact Bletchley Park about the egg.
