Description:
This model is a Royal-Imperial International 202 according to its label, couldn't find appropriate listing. I think as its made in Japan, it's almost certainly a Silver Seiko model because its fixtures and fittings are very similar if not identical to a Silverette I have.
Machine types nice, very light weight, perfectly acceptable ultra-portable machine.
