I have never had one with that part number. Is it a Lexmark, PS/2, attached cord?

Probably no more than a new Unicomp, at best. A 42H from Greenock is probably less desirable.

1391407 is the same as 1391401 - EXCEPT that it is NOT ANSI-layout, it's ISO-layout..
AND it's (obviously) not US-'English' language, it's  DANISH language, indicated by the '07' ..
But it has been re-keyed to UK-ENGLISH layout, with MUCH better quality  NEW Unicomp-caps .
(Have you ever seen a Model M with a space-bar the same yellow colour as Swiss-cheese ?
It's a used 96-98 Greenock-board !)

I know this because I'm pretty sure it's my auction you are not talking about :)
( http://www.ebay.de/itm/281022987178?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 )

NO - THESE ARE NOT 'LEXMARK-MADE' - BOARDS !
THEY ARE MADE BY IBM - Strictly speaking they shouldn't exist, at all !

Maybe I'll take a picture of the +25 NIB ISO-Model M's I have and post it on usenet-pr0n :) ...

EDIT :
If you buy it on eBay .. That's the price !

If you PM me .. I'd rather give YOU a 15% discount than let eBay make 10% :) :)

Obviously, I can offer these, with the original Danish key-set, to Danish and Norwegian GH'ers at a much better price !
PM me if interested ..
