Yes, Ted, I did get the serial number, too. :-) Don't know the age or model, but if I had to guess, I'd say a 1970's electrified SG3, just based on the body style, the logo, and the paper-injector lever (cut out of the bottom photo.)

Typespotting: Olympia International Arabic Electric
Apologies for the atrocious photo quality, but spotted this monster today -- an electric Olympia standard model (SG... something?) with an Arabic keyboard. Very neat! Even has the dual cloth- and carbon-ribbon system inside.

Yay! :D
Wow! What a magnificent machine! I have never seen anything like it.
It could be an Olympia SGE 65.
Yep, a very nice SGE, the last of the Olympia series. They later brought out a proportional model but it was too late as electronic typewriters were appearing on the horizon. Hope you kept it as these machine will be the collectibles of the future.
