This model has a metal casing and the whole front section lifts up to access the ribbon . The SM portables have a reputation as being "the writers " typewriter and this one certainly types very nicely .It does have a few very minor marks to the casing , but it is generally in a very good condition . It measures 30 cm by 32 cm by 14 cm high and although classed as a portable is quite heavy.

It comes with a standard Olympia two tone creme and grey carry case which is also in a good functional condition with just some small marks and signs of wear and discolouration. mainly to the outside on the top left side. The handle and latch to close work well.
