Rare early Model P that is relatively hard to find in this good of condition. Own a unique 97 year old piece of craftsmanship and history.Know your model Ps as some sell their typewriter as a 1927 when its actually a 1929. You can tell by the color of the keys and a few other things. The Royal logo on a 1927 is a decal while it is raised on a 1929. The 1927 also has a metal lock that prevents you from accidentally moving the ribbon over to the stencil setting while the 1929 has simplified this with just a slot in the case that accomplishes the same thing. Later model Ps have a covered ribbon while 1927s do not.
