Description:
Elite type
UK physics(?) keyboard
Looks smart in the gunmetal grey of earlier Imperials but with black keys instead of grey/aqua.
The Greek characters seem to indicate this would have been used for physics work.

I started collecting typewriters in 2006, but what started it all was using my mother's Brother Student-Riter XL1 in 2004. The next year I received my grandma's Smith-Corona Silent, which was enough to hold me over for a little while but eventually led to an obsession with manual portable typewriters.
