Rheinmetall KsT 1956

What a "presence" this typewriter has on a desk, on a shelf, or in a room! The wonderful gloss black finish gives it a look that is subtle yet powerful. There is a very modern sleekness to the design. This typewriter is in perfect working condition and is in an exceptionally fine cosmetic condition as well. Rheinmetalls are known by typewriter enthusiasts to be of the  highest quality in design and manufacture.
This is a 1956, Rheinmetall Kst typewriter, in a relatively rare all-black colour. It is in exceptional condition in every way. The body colour finish is completely original and is unblemished by sun or any other factors. This typewriter has been well-protected and extremely well cared-for during its lifetime. It has been fully serviced, aligned and adjusted. We have outfitted this KsT with a new two-colour ribbon so you can start typing immediately. It comes with a lovely, hard case in excellent condition, the original Rheinmetall cleaning brushes, polishing cloth, original User Manual, case key and one original metal ribbon spool.
This is a fully-working--as original--typewriter. The only thing that you have to do is sit down, put paper on the roller and start typing. This Rheinmetall comes with the "Acme" lead certification seal attached to the typewriter under the keyboard. This seal permanently identifies this typewriter as a genuine Acme-restored typewriter and provides for a 6-month warranty at no charge. (See below for details.) We guarantee safe delivery and provide careful and attentive after-purchase advice and assistance from the date of purchase to the end of eternity to ensure your full satisfaction.
