      I hit send before asking what is on the key top?   Does it match 
the type bar?  If it is I am not sure that that would be but, again, 
someone at the Typewriters list may know.

It is all upper case as you would expect but the top right key which should be a 0 with a slash is a just a vertical line. In order to type a 0 with a slash you would have to back space for the zero...it makes no sense to me. I feel it is a communications mill because who else would use an all CAPS typewriter?
