Description:
The Skyriter is remarkably deeper than it is wide. The machine works reliable and looks great, but it's certainly not comfortable to use. The typing action is a bit awkward and the line space action is simply too heavy.
Honorable mention: the body is very easy to remove. Unscrew two screws, slide out the machine, ready.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
