The Id-Logo is a nice hint, I do not have this one mine. I have several examples of Id-cases from the later period, but nothing yet that early.
This also explains the two different series starting with "F", this first seems to be the 1953(+) one from ID, the second 1956+ run should be in house.
Not all import cases from Switzerland have a letter at the end, some (early Weber cases I guess) are numbers only. But definitely all later imports from the 50s did have the letter at the end. It is possible that it is a year indicator. I have observed B,D,E and F so far at my Imports. Any other letters from other forum members?
Possibly A=1950, B=1951, C=1952, D=1954, E=1955, F=1956,.... but this is pure speculation. Though it seems to match not too bad...
