Not 100% unless I look at the back. But it looks nearly identical to my Terminal F, connector as well.

I'm pretty sure it is an F - if the selling information is correct.
Seller states that it is manufactured in 85, and that it weighs around 5 kilos. Also the square silver label on the right side indicates that it is an F...

Hmm. I have a Terminal M (3270PC) which looks very similar (apart from the key legends, of course!), but it has a non-standard label so I don't know its birth date.

It was in a sorry state, poor thing...

I hope it is better now. It does look very similar indeed.

How much does it weigh? From what I've gathered the F should be quite a bit heavier than the M.

Much better now, all clean and no missing keys or springs :-)

Mine weighs just over 2.8 kg. So unless the seller is just guessing the weight, it is likely to be an F on that basis.
