E       I:       VE/2   mo dated 13 December 1963
1. In response to referenced request, an original typewritten
letter and envelope addressed to the American Imbassy, Stockholm,
were examined in order to determine the origin of the letter and the
nationality of the writer.
2. The following 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 mber of typewriters made in Germany during the 1920s
and early 1930s. The possible makes would be Stoever, Torpedo,
Mercedes, Rheinmetall, Urania, Orga, Fortuna, Continental, Kappel,
Groma, Triumph, Mars and possibly some others. Of these makes,
the Torpedo, Mercedes, Eheinmetall and Triumph were probably the
most widely distributed.
b. Mhe machine in question is equipped with a black and red
ribbon. The keyboard is very probably Swedish, as shon by two
strike-overs: umlaut-u for hyphen and s for a. These
characters are adjacent on the standard Swedish keyboard, but not
on the German. The umlaut-a was not used in the street address,
StrAndvagen (where the dote 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.
c. The paper of the letter is of the international standard
(DIN) size A4 which is almost universally used in Sweden. The
linen-textured stationery sema to be rather comon in Owden.
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 sam type. The envelope
matches specimens of Swedish envelopes taken from 12/54Post&l.
