Description:
We took a family trip a couple of hours away to get it: the machine was offered on eBay but didn't sell, and I contacted the seller separately to go buy it locally.
The machine has a few issues and oddities: some key tops were replaced and have a slightly different color. The left spool cover is missing a piece and doesn't lock. But those are minor issues. This machines has a really great action!
I ordered new decals for it but I have yet to apply them.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1880s to the 1980s. As of 2024, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, a few standard electrics, and some unusual machines like Varitypers, uncommon IBM machines, and more. I am not a pro restorer, but I have restored a few of my machines beyond simple cleaning.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal KHM on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal KHM By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
