hi gents, I've come across this one on local auction portal, but not sure if it's worth bidding, cos can't find any information. Would you please help me identify this board? tried google search by pictures, but no matches.

never seen that keyboard before and the capslock looks a bit funny.

Never seen anything like this.
I had my very first typewriting lesson on a Olivertti typewriter when I was a kid..... Uh so many years ago....

Did you get a picture of the bottom label?

I asked the seller for more info, but no reply yet :-[

Mmmm, Olivetti, Italian design :cool:
They made some very nice pieces of hardware back in the day.
The keycaps look a lot like my old rubber dome Olivetti keyboard (they were shipped with PC based on Intel 486 processors). The font is also quite similar (both alphas and modifiers). It's only a guess, but I'd say RD but probably a quite nice one. If it's not expensive and it's in good shape, maybe it's worth buying it for the "vintage" experience ;)

Ask the seller to remove a keycap, and take a pic?

ok, so no more info yet, but hey guys, thanks for your kind feedback !
question: any tips on what those weird things in upper middle might be?

Oh come ON guys.
It's a Point Of Sale or Reservation System keyboard. How can nobody have noticed this right off the bat? The three black circles in the top are mounts for display or holders, or possibly attachment to the base. (The 0/00/000 layout of the numpad also gives it away.)
Olivetti keyboards come in several flavors, which include rebranding genuine Cherry G80/G81 family (which this is not) and nice rubber domes. Given the odd keycap profiles and such, I'd have to guess this is a rubber dome, but can't say for sure.

ok, so finally I've got info on this one.
The ID sticker says: ANK 2511/N Olivetti made in Italy
So far, I was not able to google any information regarding the keyboard.
sigh :'(
