First of all, I have to thank zulios for helping me get this keyboard
(and please excuse my bad photographic skills)
Seeing how the keycaps are labelled, it seems to have been used as a telephone operator keyboard, or perhaps as a Minitel compatible computer keyboard. Thanks for any information anyone could provide.

It is a Cherry G80-1293 HAF, produced 1996 for Matra communications:
Most keys of the function and number rows, but also some of the numeric pad and even of the "six-pack" and cursor blocks, have communication specific symbols and legends, so obviously the "normal" legends had to be put on the front of the keys:
The alphanumeric caps are of course doubleshot. As for the non-standard keycaps, I had expected all of them to be pad-printed. I was only partially right, though, as some of them (those pulled and shown upside down) unexpectedly also are doubleshot:
The colour of the legends of the alphanumerics is the same ("coffee") as on the dark Cherry NCR boards, but the caps themselves are not "cream", but a dark grey instead. The modifiers are very dark brown/grey with black legends, the communication specific caps are charcoal coloured with white legends, and on the number row the five "Fct" caps are black with white legends.
And of course the function row keycaps are blue with white legends - F11 and F12 even doubleshot

My favourite legend is the "coin slot" left of the backspace key - even if I have no idea what it was intended for

Can't see images

Neither can I

It looks like it's fixed now, awesome keyboard.

(repaired)

Jealous i am

I really like the blue fn keys

They went all out on this one,
Congrats

Nice keyboard. Although it seems to be a bit sad

It's French mood

Very cool find.

@kbdfr would you mind if I make a wiki page about this keyboard ? ISO-FR is what I aspire too, seeing this keyboard on the wiki would be really cool ! Also would you mind if I take these pictures ?

Vas-y

I would also consider selling it, by the way,
under the condition it is not stripped down for parts or caps.
