After some research on the serial number, it looks like the typewriter was produced in the 1960’s in Western Germany.

Even though this Olympia Splendid 33 typewriter was made in the 1960’s, it works very well! The comfortable keys are responsive, the backspace, carriage return lever, the bell, the shift keys, carriage lock, margin setters, ribbon selector (for the colour change), the carriage release lever, the paper guide and the paper release lever all work as they should.
