1940 Royal KH Serial # KHY-40-103905 1940 Royal KH typewriter, Serial # KHY-40-103905 Geoff Flash's 1940 Royal KH typewriter. 2023-07-11 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Geoff Flash: 1940 Royal KH Serial # KHY-40-103905 #690

I'm not sure if my friends really like me, or they just like annoying my wife... Having said that, I can’t find anything close to this serial number.
I found a lot of evidence that this typewriter had been refurbished (see photos) but I don’t think that they get to change the serial number.
Anyone know what I’ve missed here ?

"I was born in a crossfire hurricane"...
A professor in college gave me the gift and appreciation of the letter form.
Typewriters are just little "print shops" for me.
I have an MFA in 3D Digital Sculpture.
I no longer mold young minds, by teaching art to high school students, everyday is a safari now...
In my spare time I own and operate an equal opportunity rescue shelter for all makes and models of typewriters that have been abandoned in the bottoms of closets.
No matter how many typewriters I am fortunate to be able to collect, my collection will not be as nice as Herman's...
