A Rare Edition of the 'Signal Key for the Radio Signal Service', For Enigma Use, German, 1939,Prüf=Nr. 2137, M.Dv.Nr.114, Signalschlüssel für den Funksignaldienst, Funksignalschlüssel, Ausgabe Oktober 1939, Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine, Berlin 1939.4to, 19pp; comprising 3 pages of introduction and instructions, the inside cover with four stamps, 1 page with distribution plan of signal keys, 15 pages of signal tables numbered 1 to 15, the codes printed in red and black ink, in red cloth covers marked 'secret', 12in x 8 1/2in (30.4cm x 21.5cm) Footnotes:Provenance:German Naval Training Command, Archive Directory stamp (inside front cover).German Fleet Base Command, Department of Service Regulations, Archive Directory stamp (inside front cover).The present Lot is one of the earliest wartime versions (October 1939), produced only one month after the start of the war, for implementation from the 14th January 1940. October 1939 coincided with the first U-Boats heading out into the Atlantic to begin operations.The previous edition was declared expired upon the issuing of this updated version. As it was was produced before 1942, the codes would have been produced exclusively for M3 Enigma encryption machines. Due to the lack of annotated or missing pages, this particular signal book would likely have been used at a land-based submarine command centre, or provided to an operative for use in a specific month. To ensure that the radio signal key was consistent between all bases and ships, modifications to the radio signal key or equipment were expressly forbidden.German Enigma codebooks from World War II are among the rarest printed wartime material. Of these codebooks, those relating the Kriegsmarine are even more scarce, as many of these signal keys were printed on water-soluble paper. Land-based naval headquarters were similarly well-prepared, with all commanders under strict orders to destroy their Enigma machines and any accompanying codebooks in the event of imminent capture. This Signalschlüssel instructions state that the codebook must be 'effectively destroyed by fire' or 'sunk in deep water'.The use of Engima machines and codebooks sought to avoid covert communications from ship to land being intercepted by Allied planes and other watching points. Morse Code was already vulnerable to interception, and the Allies had evolved a High Frequency Direction Finding system (HFDF) which could track the position of a message source. When Enigma machines were adopted by the German military, the use of short length signals minimised the possibility of the source being located by HFDF.Approximately seven hundred U-Boats were sunk at sea over the course of the war, and most of the remaining three hundred were scuttled by the German Navy in 1945. It is therefore exceptionally rare for examples of any type to come to market, with notable codebooks sold at Bonhams, June 2018 ($225,000) and Bonhams, June 2014 ($146,500).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

EDWARD VIDocument bearing the King's stamped signature ['Edward'] at head and headed 'By the King', addressed to the Mayor and Sheriffs of the County of Chester, stating that a writ [not present] is being forwarded to them, that the seal should not be broken until the 'sixth daye of this moneth' and giving orders about carrying out the instructions therein ('...And upon your uttermost perill not to disclose to any maner person neither directly not indirectly the teno[ur] of the same writte...'), countersigned by seven Privy Councillors; Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset (the King's uncle and former Lord Protector), Sir Richard Rich (Lord Chancellor), John Dudley, Earl of Warwick and later Duke of Northumberland (Lord President of the Council), William, Lord Paget (Comptroller of the King's Household), Thomas, Lord Darcy, Sir William Herbert, later Earl of Pembroke (brother-in-law to Henry VIII) and John Gates (Vice Chamberlain), address panel and docket on verso, faint remains of paper seal, one page, some dust staining and other marks, repaired, oblong folio (210 x 314mm.), Westminster, 7 July [1551]Footnotes:'UPON YOUR UTTERMOST PERILL NOT TO DISCLOSE TO ANY MANER PERSON... THE TENOUR OF THE SAME WRITTE': EDWARD VI ORDERS THE DEBASEMENT OF THE COINAGE.These specific instructions, signed by three of the most powerful men in the land at this time (Somerset, Warwick and Rich), would appear to refer to a writ ordering the debasement of the coinage, whereby the value of the teston, or shilling, was reduced to 9d and the groat to 3d. This writ directed at the Sheriffs of Counties is recorded both in the Calendar of State Papers Domestic 1547-1580, 1856 (no.29, p.33) and the revised Calendar... Edward VI, 1992 (no.528, p.197). A further proclamation a month later reduced the value further. This would have been an unpopular policy, hence the need for secrecy until the county authorities had time to prepare for any possible unrest. The coinage was debased for the first time in around 400 years by Henry VIII and the practice was revoked in October 1551, just a few months after these instructions. Several copies of this document would have been issued for distribution to the various counties, hence the use of the Royal stamp to save the thirteen-year-old King time and effort. Amongst the signatures of the Privy Councillors is that of Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset and former Lord Protector, once the most powerful man in England, who signs here in the last months of his illustrious career. In February 1551 it was said he quarrelled with Warwick and rumour suggested he wished to regain his former power, but lack of support meant that by the summer he had abandoned any ambitions he might have. However, Warwick and his friends still saw him as a threat and caused him to be arrested for high treason and executed in October 1551. Warwick himself was executed in 1553 after his attempt to declare Lady Jane Grey as Queen on Edward's death.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
