ATTENTIONs UBJECT: Technical Analysis of Letter and Envelope - DB CABS j4361 REFERENCE: WE/2 Memo dated 13 December 1963 1. In response to referenced request, an original typevritten letter and envelope addressed to the American Embaesy, Stockbolm, were examined in order to determine the origin of the letter and the nationality of the writer. 2. The follating conclusions were drawn concerning the letter and envelope: a. The typewriter in question is equipped with an obsolete style of German-made type which, according to our references, was fitted on a number of typevritere made in Germany during the 1920s and early 1930s. The possible makes would be Stoever, Torpedo, Mereedes, Rheimetall, Urania, Orga, Fortuna, Continental, Kappel, Croma, Triuph, Mrz and possibly -== others. - Of these-makes, the Torpedo, Mercedes, Rheintall and Triumph were probably the most widely distributed. b. The machine in question is equipped with a black and red ribbon. The keyboard is very probably Svedish, as shown by two strike-overe: unlaut-u for hyphen and z for a. These characters are adjacent on the standard Swedish keyboard, but not on the German. The unlaut-a was not used in the street address, Strandvagen (where the dots should have been placed over the second a). This might be either a simple oversight or an attempt to conceal the writer's familiarity with the correct spelling. a. The paper of the letter is of the international standard (DIN) size A2 which is almost universally used in Sweden. The linen-textured stationery seems to be rather common in Sweden. The two smaller pieces of blank paper match the letter paper with respect to width, thickness, color, texture and look-through, and were probably cut from another sheet of the me type. The envelope matches specimens of Swedish envelopen taken from D/5-iPostal. Intelligence files.
