Description:
Nice red Olympia SF, named "Diplomat". I never really understood the Olympia nomenclature with all the Erfurts, Diplomats, DMs and so on. This is the only one of it's kind I ever saw. And the only one with a working zipper at the case.

Actually working with computers in my professional life I take the old mechanics as a compensation. I prefer machines manufactured before WWII, but I don't despise beautiful and good working typewriters from the fifties and sixties like e.g. the Olympia Splendid.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SF on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SF By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
