No, it isn't a "Model M".  Philips never made a "Model M".  If you're asking if it's a mechanical keyboard, that's a different story.

I'm assuming you don't have this in your possession or else you would've just popped off a key to see if it was a buckling spring.
In which case it's safe to assume that this is a photo of a keyboard that's for sale somewhere.  The easiest way to get info on this keyboard is to contact the seller and get the model # or any other identifying numbers off of it.

Good call. Will do.

Thanks.
