Old Swiss Powder

Just bought several pounds of Swiss 1F powder. It is in one pound tin cans. It looks to be very early. The lot is#001 and the date code is 141.199. I know it should be good to use, I was curious of its age
Thanks in advance for any information.

That was the first batch (lot) that was imported and I still have some of that 1F, using it for a chicken load.
I first got it with the intent to use it on my 45-100.

A 1999 date code I think but came in in 2000.

I could be wrong, it is what I remember, correct me if I am.

Here is some info I copied down long ago on Swiss date codes.   I don't remember where I got it, but it seems to make sense:


Swiss ... Lot number example - 150.705
15= Day
07= Month
05= Year
