Can you post a picture of the keycap mount? Guessing more info is on the PCB of the board if you happen to take it apart.

Looks very interesting, haven't seen these before but looks kinda Fujitsu-ish to me

Edit: didn't see that there is already a keycap in the picture my bad

So by running the numbers and doing a very rough translation of the stickers you can find this:

1) Fukuchiyama Telegraph and Telephone Bureau = linked to a company called Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, which we know as Nippon Electric (NEC)

2) the KKBU- number seems familiar, I could be totally wrong but reminds me of some Mitsumi boards, which wouldn't make sense if the boards from NEC I guess?

that's an NEC switch, don't remember the name of it (and it doesn't appear to be on the wiki) should have caps compatible with other NEC switches as well as ALPS SKFR switches

Does this bottom row layout (1.75u control and alt, 9u space bar, then 1.75u alt and control, no gaps at all) suggest anything about the likely switches? I think the rest of the board is “normal” layout, ie like a Model M, not XT or AT. I forget the right term for that.

This layout is also on the Qtronix QX201, which usually has either MX blue or SKCM blue, as far as I know.

I can't find anything on the wiki. Maybe it's an unique design by this west-german company, but the keycaps give me strong trashy-f&f vibes, can't really say why ...

That arrow cluster makes me feel queasy just looking at it. Nice grey lettering, though. Are you in a position to buy it and discover what the switch really is?

I am, but I am still undecided whether or not I should. The board is pretty unique and probably rare, but if it's not enjoyable to use ...

Yeah, the arrow cluster is something else

This is my philosophy - except I forget to sell things on. I’m stock-rich but money-poor. There’s no liquidity in my operation: good news for the keyboards at least.
