Hello DT community.
My friend found and bought this MODEL M in a local junk market from a clueless seller for 3 turkish liras (1.4$).
And i need your guys' input on what model exactly or how rare is this. I know there are variations of Model M.

It has a detachable spiral(?) cable and the keys are in Turkish letters with Turkish layout. The keycaps are swappable though.
Sorry for the bad quality cell phone pictures below...

It's just your normal model m.

I don't know of any significant variations either.

Well, there are subtle differences like:
silver label, white label, blue label, industrial case, normal case, made by IBM, made by Lexmark for IBM, fixed cable, detachable cable, PS/2 plug, DIN plug, with or without LED indicator lights, mono-colored legends, multi-colored legends and probably a few more.

Have a look at clickeykeyboards.

ShuttleMunky, yours looks indeed like a standard 1992 model M (blue label with mono-colored legends and detachable PS/2 cable).

It's simply a Turkish version.
