It does seem rather a coincidence that the typewriter turns up at the same time that a TV series is on BBC1 by Arne Dahl. The so called Provenance is of course worthless although I suspect the address is correct. Why don't you ask him if it was his typewriter? He is on Twitter and Facebook and you could always send him an email. I wonder why the seller didn't do this. Nice typewriter though a bit overpriced. If you like I could sell you my vintage Adler Gabriele 25. None of my published works were written on it as I have only had it since August and I am nowhere near finished my current book. Nevertheless, I could provide you with a letter authenticity and even sign the typewriter for you.. I paid a fiver for it, but I am open to offers and this one comes with a UK keyboard too!

I watched the first two parts of the new Arne Dahl series last night, love a good crime series with subtitles.
Duh! Why did I not just think of asking the man himself before?!

Here's an interesting one. A Hermes 3000, currently at $4 something. From the looks of the last picture, it seems to be a techno font. Shipping for me is steep since it's in California. Someone closer might be interested.

If someone is currently bidding on this, let me know and I'll remove this post if you don't want potential competition.

I have a Hermes 3000 (rounded style) with that techno typeface. It's a great little machine with a fun typeface.
Great price so far, with just 2+ hours left. If I didn't already have one, it's close enough that I could go and pick it up if I won.

Bummer, I didn't see it in time. I could have just picked it up also. Thanks for posting!

The end price wasn't too bad considering free local pick up.

i like this new Techno listing because it's 10cpi. the last auction was 12 cpi and the letters don't look as good when they're all crammed together. mine is a 10cpi and i love how the letters space out.

Oh yes, I see what you mean. Good eye!
