Re: My (supposedly) last Oly.
I highly recommend the SF. I have a 1966 one, but I'm sure that they're all great typers. If you can find one, get it! I absolutely love mine and will be using it a lot more.
A high schooler with a lot of typewriters. That's pretty much about it.

There really was no shape difference in general between the early SM models, except for the SM1 to the SM2-5. I have often read made up definitions based on the very initials: SF = Style or Small Flat, SM = Style Medium, SG = Style Giant or Large. The initials are German as you know, and I don't speak German, so I assume these are made up interpretations.
John, the initials are for:
Schriebmaschine Falsch (flat)
Schreibmaschine Mittel (middle, medium)
Schreibmaschine Grosse (big)
Oh, and Schreibmaschine is "writing machine" (typewriter)
Have Fun!

Re: My (supposedly) last Oly.
Schriebmaschine Falsch (flat)
"Falsch" = wrong
Flach = flat
"Grosse" = size
Gross = large or big
See post #5 in this thread. 
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.
