Description:
Acquired Autumn 2022; Pica.
This is essentially a Mercury model, minus a couple of features. The Citadel lacks a bichrome ribbon setting, a touch tensioner, and a paper support. It comes in a stunning color that Royal called "Gray." A very lightweight and simple machine, yet it types well and is very convenient for travel.

Been enjoying the hobby since 2015; finally getting around to sharing my collection digitally. I only keep the typewriters I use and enjoy the most, so check out my sightings to see all the machines that came and went.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Citadel on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Serial Number page and the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Citadel By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
