Hagelin C-35
The C-35 is the first fully mechanical pin-and-lug machine developed by Hagelin. It is much smaller than later machines of the same class and has 5 coding wheels. Furthermore, the tabs on the metal bars inside the cage are fixed and can not be moved.
 
The C-35 was initially developed for the French Army, who wanted the machine to fit the pocket of their trousers. So they gave Boris Hagelin a piece of wood that would just fit inside the pocket of the amry trousers.

On 8 November 2008, we attended the presentation of the book Mythos Enigma by Dominik Landwehr in Basel (Switzerland), where Hagelin's first employee Oskar Stürzinger presented some machines from the private Hagelin collection. As part of his presentation he showed this C-35.
  

The machine is in excellent condition and is painted blue. The pictures on this page were all taken on the same event with kind permission from Oskar Stürzinger.
