Olive Green Finish - US QWERTY keyboard layout - 7-127435
A workhorse of a machine. Very snappy too. Picked this up from a local antique store. The unique thing about this one is that it retains a carbon ribbon system. However, the spool cover for the carbon ribbon is missing, and the parts for the fabric ribbon are also missing, as commonly found with these kinds of Olympias, as they had to be removed to replace the fabric ribbon.

Currently, after some of the more rare typewriters with typefaces, ESPECIALLY FRAKTUR!
My typewriting collection began when I inherited an old Monarch No. 3 from an old family member, and that kickstarted everything for me.
Gladly willing to trade typewriters as well. Currently trying to learn how to properly restore and repair typewriters at the moment, but I have done some small-scale things here and there. I am ESPECIALLY after Greek typewriters as well as international keyboard machines (Greek, Cyrillic, Hungarian, Hebrew, and Arabic are my most sought after at the moment) However, I would die to have a Fraktur machine!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SG1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SG1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
