The Royal typewriter that I will always regret selling.

The Day we sold this mysterious Royal typewriter with the uncommon U.S.A-M.D. embossing on it, we never though we will be able to find another one.

We aim to have a complete set of Military related typewriter & this Royal Arrow will always be a special one as only 5 of these have ever been seen online.

Original link of this typewriter is below:

This is only the second typewriter from our personal typewriter collection out of 200+ unique and rare typewriters that we aim to share with everyone.

Hello, I am the second owner of a 1947 Royal QDL with Elite typeface 2:02, made in Canada, which also has rectangular shift keys. It looks much like the Arrow you are showing here. I assume the Canadian Royal manufacturing plant used parts of the same design as the WW2 models.

I bought that typewriter from you! Glad to see it's safe and sound. I just wish I'd kept my Royal Model O!

I think we have one of those and would be very interested in corresponding with you to find out more information!

Those are good machines, I dig Royals! All 1942-45 Royal production was for US military. The pre-war Royal Standards are my fav. tho, , , , Izzy, , , ,

I did a quick google search, and USAMD frequently came up as United States Army Missile Detachment. Although I did see another option that said United States Army Medical Department.

Really interesting video! 😊
