Description:
Two remarkable things about this Superba: It is a particular shade of grey with a greenish tone. Never seen before (there is a Mercedes K45 in Mr. Robert Messenger's blog with the exact color of mine, and same typography in its MERCEDES decal http://oztypewriter.blogspot.com.ar/2013/05/selekta-or-superba-which-is-mercedes.html).
It is a beautiful typewriter with nice typeface.
Despite its segment cover (metal outside, felt inside) this one is not silent at all. The cover is not a muffler at all.
At first sight, I feel something like a distant link between this one and my Olympia Robust).

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Mercedes Superba on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Mercedes Serial Number page and the Mercedes Superba By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
