Looks like verts have their own body stamps. According to posts as early as 1962.

Of course mine does not have a stamp in this location.

Any early vert owners have this stamp?

On the verts, I'm sure Karmann is a little different with numbering. On the early Ghias the body number from the brake fluid shelf was also stamped on the doors, hood and deck lid (3 digits of it), This enabled removed panels to be identified and placed back on the correct body since there was so much hand fitting.

But i notice a stamp on my January 1954 bettle on the rear body attachment.

I just now found and read this thread so thought I'd best check our car also.

Numerals 33 and letter C above left inspection cover on an October 14, 1955 L225 Jupiter Grey Standard sold new at Weisbaden. As you can see, the stamper really punched the 33s in hard while the C is much more crisp with less deformation of the metal.

Sweden's post made me look at our October '55 car again--the letter "F" only on the right rear support, nothing on the left one.
