WWII US Army M-209 Combat Pouch Cover Strap Bag Cryptograph Original WW2

WWII US Army M-209 Combat Pouch Cover Strap Bag Cryptograph Original WW2. Original Wartime Pouch for the rare M209. The M-209 was designed by Swedish cryptographer Boris Hagelin in response to a request for such a portable cipher machine, and was an improvement of an earlier machine, the C-36. The M-209 is about the size of a lunchbox, in its final form measuring 3+1?

2 by 7 inches (83 mm × 140 mm × 178 mm) and weighing 6 pounds (2.7 kg) plus 1 pound (0.45 kg) for the case. [1] It represented a brilliant achievement for pre-electronic technology. It was a rotor machine similar to a telecipher machine, such as the Lorenz cipher and the Geheimfernschreiber.
