Description:
I bought it in Hasbergen, sate of Lower Saxony in Germany. Nice Machine.
I‘m not so sure about the Year of Manufacture. The other serials are not so valid I guess. Probably late 1954, but could also be 1955.

I found an Olympia Monica from 1969 in my parents attic, so I cleaned and repaired it out of interest. After using it a bit, I asked myself "Which is the nicest model (soft touch, nice sound). And now I'm addicted to collecting typewriters.
Im located in Germany, so many Olympia's around here for fair prices.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Torpedo 20 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Torpedo Serial Number page and the Torpedo 20 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
