I'd only just fallen for the charms of Olympias and now this - mine's a khaki green/brown and I wanted it for its shape and mountain inspired marketing back-story.

And thanks for the nice comments; I am glad to see my fellow typewriter enthusiasts would have all rushed to the aid of this red damsel in distress. <br /><br />I am a little jealous of Shordzi that he gets to keep this one, but I look forward to my Eastern German hummingbird (that is a good enough clue for the typosphere for now, more details when the swap has Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-80694068843046451992011-04-21T11:25:42.770+02:002011-04-21T11:25:42.770+02:00Oh my, what a catch!

A couple of years ago I imported a red K2 like this one from Italy, but it arrived smashed due to the seller's idiocy. However, I did recently get another red Everest, an older one.
