Detail: keyboard special characters: German ä, ö, ü and ß, as well as a NATO-customised "striked zero" and a "fr." - I don't know what it means; one hypothesis may be that the machine was used by the Franco-German Brigade and that the "fr." is a currency symbol for the former French Francs.

Fellow typospherians, may I introduce myself? I'm Brancaleone da Norcia, Typewriter Hunter and TWDB Patron from Germany. My main focus is collecting portable machines from the 1950s to the 1970s. I particularly appreciate good industrial design and durable construction. Many Olivetti models inspire my enthusiasm. I'm pretty good at touch typing, enjoying it a lot – it's very contemplative. At last, I have a particular fondness for pangrams and am always happy to discover new ones. Looking forward to get in touch with you, kind regards, Brancaleone.
