Re: The German Gallery
My 1961 German-made Aztec 600 (a rebadged Rheinmettal KsT) and "Lily"...the boss of my desk.
I added some ivory-colored paint on top to break up the all-green look it had originally.

Re: The German Gallery
My 1960 Olympia SM4.
Some of them in this time-frame were offered with a textured but glossy paint finish. In some lighting conditions, this one appears tan/ivory in colour but other times , mint green comes out.
All it needed was a deep cleaning, service, bit of oil, and a new ribbon. No adjustment needed. This one came out of Utah State - USA.
Case got re-hab's by me and now has new case and handle colors.

Re: The German Gallery
My 1961 Olympia Splendid 99.
With just a little loss of paint along the back panel, near its left corner.
So small, it was not even worth going after with touch-up paint.
