Description:
This machine (its serial number) is one of those caught in the fog of the Studio 44 no-man's-land. However, given its Olivetti-Underwood designation and how its number would fit into the machine's production history, I've dated this as a 1963 model in my own database.
I have two Studio 44s and dislike both of them because of their overly stiff type action, something that the seemingly ineffective touch control system can't compensate for. Some day I'll have to discover the root of this problem, but for now they're more show than go.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Studio 44 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Studio 44 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
