1960 Rheinmetall KsT Serial # 561250 1960 Rheinmetall KsT typewriter, Serial # 561250 Maria Drysdale's 1960 Rheinmetall KsT typewriter. 2024-02-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Maria Drysdale: 1960 Rheinmetall KsT Serial # 561250 Two tone green and cream, QWERTY layout with English symbols.
I bought this locally. Original owner was a lady whose father bought it for her when she was a student. She was from Claremont, in Perth Western Australia. Second owner was a collector who liked the look of it but never used it, making me proud owner #3.

Does anyone know why there are high, low and muddle ribbon settings? Is that to get absolute economy from a single colour ribbon?

I am in Australia, bought my first typewriter in 2023 and think I have caught the bug. I am currently in research phase, looking to see what comes up in my local area. I will likely end up one of those 'long time lurker, seldom poster' type of members.



RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Rheinmetall KsT on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Rheinmetall Serial Number page and the Rheinmetall KsT By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
