That Olympia with the SS on the keyboard is quite something!
There is an amazing backstory to that machine, BTW.
Owner Bryan Kruk — bought it at a yard sale in NJ. It was in a field case painted US Army drab, with a name and what looked like a US Army serial on it.
He did some research and found it was brought back to the states by a G.I. This typewriter was captured by US forces and used during the war, when all typewriter production was stopped, and every machine was precious.
A rare example of a typewriter fighting on both sides of a conflict!
Big thanks to Bryan and his family for traveling a long way to the Type-IN and bringing this unique Olympia.
Mr. Kruk has two awesome typewriter sites:

both of which have some great pics and machines for sale as well.
