This model has a metal casing and the whole front section lifts up to access the ribbon. The SM portables have a reputation as being "the writers " typewriter and this one certainly types very nicely. The metal casing is in a very nice condition with just a few small marks. The typewriter measures 30 cm by 32 cm by 14 cm high.

It comes with a standard Olympia two tone creme and grey carry case which is also in a good functional condition with just some small marks and signs of wear to the outer covering. The handle and latch to close work well. 

We include a copy of an instruction manual. All in all this is a good working Olympia in a lovely condition.
