This version of a centuries old cypher device is outstanding. It will be an important part of treasure hunts in our family. The seller makes items of great quality. I highly recommend.

It's the third time I ordered this disk

It's the third time I ordered this disk. I like to give it away as a birthday present.Its special construction makes it unique.
Meanwhile I translated the instructions into German language to make it easier for our friends.
Only disadvantage: shipping to Germany, taxes and customs duties make the disk rather expensive.

The cipher wheel is really high quality, and it shipped quickly. I bought two cipher wheels in this purchase (Alberti and DIANA), and I've got my eye on some others from this shop now.

Ordered this for my husband for Christmas, came right on time, very nice packaging and exactly how described!

Wonderful cipher disk! The wood is a bit snug since it traveled from a humid climate to a dry climate but I expect it will loosen just a bit as it adjusts to a new environment. The shipping was fast and my disc arrived safely. Great seller!
