Wrapped up in an Enigma
A fully functional ENIGMA Cipher Machine can be yours; a snip at €30k+! (via the Armored Facilities Manager).
Year of construction 1941 by Manufacturer Chiffriermaschinen Gesellschaft Heimsoeth and Rinke, Berlin. The Enigma machine is placed in an oak woodwork case. Three high-quality, all-metal, matched rotors and an Umkehrwalze "B".
While I am sore tempted to get in on that Umkehrwalze "B" action*, Zeekar offers two sensible alternatives in the Facilities Manager's comments. Consider a Curta as a budget-conscious Enigma alternative or cut out the middle-man and make your own paper Enigma machine.
*Making this a German Army and Air Force Enigma.
