It may be a simplified Hermes 2000, but it is one sweet machine. I like the logo on the right side (not sure what it is) but it looks cool. From what I’ve read when this was introduced in 1936 it lacked a back space key and ribbon selector (both added by 1939). Also on the 2000 in the rear was a knob for adjusting velocity.
Gee, the logo is a crossbow as used by legendary Swiss William Tell. I always think it looks like an umbrella.
The crossbow is the mark it is a Swiss Made product, see http://www.swisslabel.ch
Think it originated in the 30-ies, think sommeregger had a posting/page about it but cannot find it now that I look for it.
(ephemeral, items on this internet…)

Thank you… my first thought was that it was a crossbow but I was not certain.
