Vintage Optima Typewriter

Vintage Optima Elite 3 manual typewriter with original case. Made in Germany. This has been tested and is in working condition. I am not a typewriter expert but as far as I can tell all the features work. The case is in fair condition. I am only the 3rd owner. The gentleman I got this from told me it belonged to his father and then to him. It was well loved and used often. Sold in AS IS condition. I have tried to give a detailed description to the best of my ability.
Please expect wear especially to the case. One side of the carrying handle is detached. There are scuffs and scrapes to the exterior of the case, water spots on the lining and some tears. There are a couple spots where the paint/enamel has chipped off. All of the keys seem to work as they should.
