Interesting.

In my opinion, there are 2 things that make the 1390131 the most desirable Model M: the square metal badge and the heavy plate.

This one has the badge, but does it have the plate?

Also, it appears to have the long cord, which is unusual.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I haven't seen silver-badged Model M's which have a pair of drain outlets on the bottom case like this.
And this one seems to have a gray cable unlike mine. It's also interesting.

Maybe its label was replaced with newer one.

This Model M is definitely a strange one for sure. I can confirm the label has not been replaced as I've inspected it very closely and have a lot of experience with Model M's. I was very surprised to find what I did as I had never seen one like this before. If anyone has any questions about it, please don't hesitate to ask.

Really? if so, it's absolutely strange one, which I've never seen too.

It's hard to tell if it has the plate without opening the case. Although the weight of this model compared to earlier Model M's is nearly the same so I would imagine it does.
