Description:
When I wanted to register this Hermes 505, I couln't find anything.
No galeries and no listing in the serial number database.
When searching on Google I did find an empty gallery here at TWDB for the 505.
For now I have registered this machine as a 'new' model , dated 19XX
Update, Munk was very quick to set the date to 1981, it is a date coded Nakajima Serial Number .
This machine just operates as it should, good platen and matching print.
The power carriage return will swipe everything in it's path of the table, RIP Coffeemug.

Hello,
Typerwriterfan from the Netherlands, recently bought a few typewriters again and started cleaning and adjusting them.
I haven't touched a typewriter in a long time, but it's fun working with them again.
This is a great database and I will try to contribute too.
Have a nice day,
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes 505 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes 505 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
