James Bond? Inspector Gadget? Yup, all here Gareth Corfield Wed 17 Feb 2021 // 12:44 UTC Share Copy A Soviet equivalent of Nazi Germany s Enigma cipher machine has sold for more than double its auction asking price – while a secret camera disguised as a pack of cigarettes went for nearly $20,000. A Fialka M-125-3M 10-rotor cipher code machine complete with accessories sold for $22,400 at a US auction held over the weekend, trumping the device s $8,000-$12,000 estimated sale price. The Fialka, and many other surveillance objects used in the Soviet era, came from the KGB Espionage Museum s collection. Based in New York, the museum collected and catalogued historical items relating to the Soviet spy force, the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti), and other items – until the coronavirus pandemic killed it off in October 2020, barely a year after it first opened.
