Made in Japan, for Atvidaberg-Facit, Sweden.

Facit were large producers of mechanical calculators, but their electronic calculators appear to have been made by others. In 1972 they were victims of the great drop in the price of electronic calculators and were taken over by Electrolux.

Brent Hilpert has brilliantly reverse-engineered the Facit 1123 and has published information and a simulator at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hilpert/eec/calcs/Facit1123.html.
