Here you go, hope they are clear enough.

The stamp is not that clear and I cant get the camera to focus holding it too close.

The code on mine is 1414-L (Signal Orange)

Happy to try again during the day if need be. Where's that glove obsessed Upwey and his '71??

Here Cam. :p
In relation to this topic, the info hereunder is a copy of a post on the 'early 911s registry' (i'm not sure if copyright applies to these posts).

" Kunstharzlack = kunst/artifical, harz/enamel-resin, lack/paint or varnish.

I think, factory production for all early911s was Zuffenhausen, a town next to Stuttgart, Germany.
For Karmann bodies, it was a (subcontracting) factory at Osnabrueck, further north of Stuttgart.
Chassis number indicates if its a Karmann body.

check out this great period movies about paint and assembly in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, 1972:

Yes, I was tempted to make up my own derivation of the word 'kunstharzlack", but it wouldn't have been very complimentary of our esteemed El Prez !!

Stoddards used to have them they are the same as used on the 356 models
