Description:
A little used case queen that cleaned up nice despite some mechanism surface rust. Royal milking the QDL in as many variants and as long as possible. The end is near. The 1975 advertisement tells the tale.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Sabre on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Sabre By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
