I was incredibly surprised to find this tag  on the underside of the body.  It appears to be made out of metal and depicts a cross of some sorts, as well as "I" and "21". Most likely, the "I" stands for italic, as is the typeface, but right now I am clueless about the "21". Please comment down below, if you have any idea!

Hey there, fellow typist!

It'll be a long and tedious battle, but I'm committed. So guard yours well... ;)
Just kidding, one should be plenty enough, right? ...
