Need help (anyone with a Focus FK-727 or 747)

Hiya guys, I need some help with a Focus again; this time the 727/747 brothers. I'm preparing for a review in a few weeks time and need additional data to make sense of what I'm seeing! As always, Focus didn't make it easy to retrace their steps. Could anyone with a Focus FK-727 or FK-747 please provide me the following:

-picture of the front
-picture of the back
-picture of the PCB (green back side)
-picture of the REAR of any of the 1 u keycaps
-the type of switches it uses
-the model type of your keyboard and where you got it from (controller, case, sticker, whatever; this bit is very important)
-the manufacturing date and where you got it from (v.s.)

If you have multiple of these, yes, I'm interested in every single one of them. I need as many data points as I can get.

Much obliged guys! ^^

I have no idea if this will help anyone, but here's a dump of pictures of my Focus FK-727 with Blue Alps switches.

I sold my fk 727 to one guy from germany. I didn't do lot of photos because keeb was in amazing condition and i didn't want to disassemble it. I will ask him if he could send you few photos.

There is two photos what i have. Maybe this can help a bit.

Thanks for the pictures, but the review is out now, so I can't use it anymore, unfortunately. Might be useful for a future video though, who knows

I know this is old news, but i recently acquired a Focus FK-727 (took off the Gold label to clean the case). I thought I'd post some photos for you to look at. Interesting to note that the PCB is labeled FK-B010.
