Description:
Purchased for my colleague to replace her Lyubava with a better machine.
Solid and heavy typewriter with a very light touch. Original 1P typeface and quite nice overall condition, except for a broken paper support (getting a replacement soon), minor paint chips and missing platen release button.
Margin setting is similar to the “Magic Margin”, which is not common for the European typewriters.
