Always and everywhere… Type 541

Here the KsT is referred to as the "Typ 541", a designation I'd never seen before. Perhaps with the Supermetall brand came a new model name for the classic Rheinmetall portable.

This is one of the pieces of typewriter ephemera I have collected this year; more to come...

*For those who don't know, DHL charges for international shipping one a flat rate for any package between 5-10kg, and another rate for 10-20kg packages. This happened to be 11kg, and therefore cost 10€ more.

The little indicator point on the ribbon color selector is missing on mine, for some reason. It doesn't negatively affect the function, other than not indicating what is currently selected.

As for what we did in some of the 10 days of absence, that will be a story for another time.
