3336000-3391500 1966 Production of HP-2/58 ends around Serial # 3,357,400.
Production of square-top metal-shelled Hermes 3000 (designated HP-2/66) begins May, 1966 at Serial # 3,357,500. Service manual suggests some "pre-series prototypes" were made.
Approx. 267,000 HP-2/66 produced in total.
Weight: 7.7kg, Dimensions: 352 x 334 x 150mm, Writing Line: 242mm (9.5"), Max Paper Width: 248mm (9.76"), Number of Parts: 1,400.

3571900-7070000 1970 Production of HP-2/66 ends around Serial # 7,061,000. There is a jump of around 3.5 million serials here, but weirdly, if you look at existing examples, you find that this series jump happens early in 1970 while Hermes is still producing the HP-2/66 variation. This series jump makes it difficult to pin down how many HP-2/66 were made in 1970, and thus how many were made in total, but since it's only one year, we can get a close guess.
Production of square-top plastic-shelled Hermes 3000 (designated HP-2/71) begins Nov. 1970 at Serial # 7,061,400.
Approx. 450,000 HP-2/71 produced in total.
Weight: 7.7kg, Dimensions: 369 x 334 x 150mm, Writing Line: [reg. platen] 242.5mm (9.5") [wide platen] 327.5mm, Max Paper Width: [reg. platen] 248mm (9.76") [wide platen] 336mm, Number of Parts: 1,430.
