I am now the proud owner of a Soviet-made Moskva portable typewriter.
Moskvas are some of the most enigmatic typewriters on the planet, as not much information about them escaped the iron curtain. But I’m hooked up to some knowledgeable people now, and information is trickling through slowly. I’m still hungry to know anything and everything about this machine, though, so if anyone out there happens to be a Moskva expert, do speak up. Now would be a great time to show off your geekiness.
It’s in the original case and everything… and it’s in fantastic cosmetic condition. See more photos here.
