Description:
Bought this for a friend. He wanted to give his wife a gift and was looking for an inexpensive typewriter. I found it where I usually acquire most of my typewriters: online flea market Kleinanzeigen. German keyboard. It cost me 17€ including shipping and was already in a fully working condition. A blue case was included, however it is already partially falling apart. Typewriter only required the usual beauty treatment, which is: Cleaning and polishing as well as replacing the ribbon. I happily obliged. And it is now a happy typer.

During my other hobby I came to typewriter collecting.
I am a beginner and very selective about which typewriter to pick. When my restoration skills improve, that may change.
