Thank you all for your answers!
They're really helpful!
I don't know any more where I read about the silk ribbon but it sounded possible to me as somebody without any knowledge about typewriters.
So I'm happy I don't need silk and it's very interesting to read bit by bit more about the typewriter I bought, thanks for that!

Hello!
I`m new here and just bought my first Typewriter. It`s a Standard Continental Typewriter by Wanderer-Werke A.G. Chemnitz. Unfortunately, there`s no ribbon installed and I did some research and somewhere I read, that I need a ribbon made from silk because of the metal types. Now I searched the internet for a 16mm silk ribbon but didn`t find anything. I found many nylon ribbons, one with 16mm, too. Now I`m questioning, if I have to buy silk or if nylon is ok and - if I need a ribbon from silk - where to find some with 16mm whic is not too expensive?
Is there somebody who can help me?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Scrooge
(P.S.: Please, excuse my bad english,)
