Description:
I failed to get the serial number on this thing before gifting it to a friend of mine, but it’s a later Safari based off the plastic brown body, a departure from the prettier 60s models. It’s another foreign Royal - like the Dutch Royalite but not nearly as well-made - this time from Portugal. My buddy loves The Beach Boys and writing poopku - haiku about, well, you can imagine. So I had to hit him with the gag gift of ALL TIME! This is his Royal POOPING Safari...

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal (Messa) Safari on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal (Messa) Serial Number page and the Royal (Messa) Safari By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
