Hello guys i have found an IBM model m 1391401 with a silver label it has been screw modded by me and fully refurbished but I have never heard of or seen a model m with the or no 1391401 with a silver label also case date codes match to top and bottom this thing is foreign to me I contacted clickey keyboards they say this may have been a screwd this up when they wre making it putting a 1391401 sticker on it and packaging it with a ps/2 computer. this was made on the 8th of July 1987 fun fact I refurbed it on the 8th so it got a 33 year birth day present. this came with a ps/2 to sdl cable and it was in rough shape dirty had mouse poop side of it so it was dedicated on but I was able to fully clean it refurb it and get it back to clicking again it looks like new spare some scratches dings and good scuffs. here is a mature of what I'm talking about https://imgur.com/gallery/8TPW0g3 the last 2 images are the before i also got model m 122 with it but that is far less interesting

Nice, looks good. I can't help but assume the F77 photobomb was intentional.

Generally, a square metal badge is a "badge" and a plastic oval sticker is a "label" terminology-wise.
