Description:
I bought this on behalf of a friend as I'd been raving to him about how my KMM is my favourite machine.
This was clearly a loft dweller and has not been used for many years. At the moment, it doesn't feel like my 1939 KMM and for some reason despite having a much wider carriage weighs less - 14.2Kg as opposed to my 16.6Kg from 1939.
* Cleaned and polished and much happier for it. Enjoy it Paul . . .
I've offered to clean and restore the poor thing as best I can for him and will keep you updated on my findings. For now, it needs a cuddle and a cup of tea.

Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of 41 machines.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal KMM on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal KMM By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
