Facit TP1 (Privat Model) 1958

This is a very uncommon and highly-sought-after typewriter: a 1958 Facit Model TP1, known also as the Facit Privat Series 1, in lovely dove-gray body colour with forest-green keys. It has been fully serviced, cleaned, aligned and adjusted. It has a new two-colour ribbon and comes with a carrying case in wonderful condition. It also comes with the original User Manual and dust cover. 
The Facit TP1 typewriter has been called the "Prince of the Typewriters" by the great and respected Robert Messenger. He says that it is "attractive to the eye, has a nice light typing touch, yet is still very workmanlike". I cannot improve on his description. This typewriter has a "basket-shift".

Like all of our typewriters this is a fully-working typewriter. It comes with the "Acme" lead certification seal attached to the typewriter which permanently identifies it as a genuine Acme-restored typewriter and provides for a 6-month warranty. 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. In terms of an investment, the Acme Seal proves that this machine was restored by the Acme Type Machine Company. This can add value in the event that you wish to sell this typewriter in the future. 
The keyboard is standard English language QWERTY with accents for foreign languages. NOTE: The QWERTY keyboard has the English language standard keyboard configuration, NOT the Scandinavian QWERTY layout. The typing keys have no signs of use or fingernail-scratching. The typeface is Elite (12 c.p.i.). It comes with a new bi-colour, Baco ribbon. 
Comes with the original case which, too, is in excellent condition inside and outside. There are only the some small signs of wear on the outside of the case. The interior is a beautiful green colour with few signs of age or use and a well-preserved lining. Inside the case is a paper flap on the top which is in excellent condition with a working snap closure.
The platen rubber has a fine firmness reading of around 93 (ideal = 85 to 95) and the feeder rollers are in fine condition. All are clean, smooth and gripping well the paper. The chrome is is fine condition and the body finish has minimal signs of use.
