I'm not familiar with this keyboard, does it have some sort of history?

It's a great keyboard... most likely clicky complex white Alps and built like a tank. I had a 102 and can't find it. I also have a Ultra-T in excellent condition. The Omnikey keyboards were the only real competitors for the IBM Model M. There is a rarer 102 with blue Alps but I've never seen one.
