Says it's an IBM.  Anyone know what it really is?

Looks similar to a KeyTronic E03601D1 (http://www.keytronic.com/home/products/specs/e03601d1.htm) to me, or a very similar model.  Almost certainly a Keytronic rubber dome.  Most likely a decent rubber dome, but a rubber dome nonetheless.  That's my guess anyway.

Obvious Unicomp Customizer is obvious.

So um, is this worth buying?

Assuming that it's in decent condition, it's a good price for someone who wants a German keyboard.

Well, it looks to be in great condition, but I hadn't realized it was German. Nevermind~

Selling a German Model M on US eBay is a bit of a challenge.

Nope, it's a Unicomp...

Guess you're right.  What threw me was it lacking the modern Unicomp logo.

It has the Unicomp lock lights, that's a dead giveaway.

Unicomp will sell you a keyboard without their hideous logo on front if you ask them nicely.

Look at that purple PS/2 connector.

Surely Unicomp keyboards could not have purple plugs?

Since I got the keyboard wrong, I probably don't need to point this out but it still could be a rubber dome unless verified by the seller as buckling spring.  Unicomp made them in both flavors right?
