WTF label are you talking about? It has a BAR CODE label!

You mean the badge for the front?
"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 sure hope its not someone who bought the industrial case from webwit in Deskthority recently and then modded a Model M and pretend its Industrial. Coz that case from webwit does not ha a badge too. That would be a despicable thing to do.

You can have one made. I can't remember where, but people here have had it done before.

I sure hope its not someone who bought the industrial case from webwit in Deskthority recently and then modded a Model M and pretend its Industrial. Coz that case from webwit does not ha a badge too. That would be a despicable thing to do.

Looking at the barcode label, it looks fine to me. It's not peeled off of a non-industrial because the model number is correct. And it's hard to tell, but it appears to have the correct printing, including the maroon IBM logo and information (although the colors are off in the picture).

A while back, I remember seeing a NIB one (albeit a later model) without the badge. Some of them just don't appear to have been given badges. The other unlikely alternative is that it fell off. Given the condition, I find it very unlikely.
