Offered for sale is this wonderful historic item, ‘Modell Groma’, manufactured by G.F. Grosser Fabrik für Büromaschinen in Markersdorf/Chemnitztal is one of the typewriters that were used in a Amtsstube (Office) as well as by Police and SS units (or other Nazi officials or organizations) at the front lines, in occupied territories, on field exercises or any other occasion. The box is sturdy but still lightweight, making it easy and convenient to carry this typewriter. The box shows only very little signs of wear, is complete and protected the typewriter over many decades. There are no parts missing that we could notice, and it is fully operational. The black Bakelite housing is usually at least partly rubbed off from use over the years – NOT this one! This typewriter is in very nice condition and works just as fine as it did 80 years ago! Of course it has the ‘Sondertaste‘, the SS key that makes this typewriter so valuable. Many of these typewriters were of course destroyed in the war and of the few that survived, many had the SS rune key altered or removed after 1945, so that it could still be used in postwar Germany. This typewriter has never been altered, making it a rare and valuable artifact. The ribbon is not dried out, as you can see in one of the sample pictures. It would be interesting to know in which campaigns this historic artifact participated!
