Authenticity: Scripts & Emblems
The easiest way to identify the year of a T34 is to look at the rear scripts.

Late-1962 & 1963 VOLKSWAGEN above 1500 Common 1500 script with tabs

1964-65 S script added below 1500

1966 Unique VW1600 script

1967-69 Unique VW1600L script

Front emblems didn't change much over the years. There are two styles, rectangular & round. The rectangular emblem was only fitted to the early-1962 T34s. All other T34s were fitted with the round emblem, identical to the T14 KG emblem.

Late-1962 thru 1969 Common to T14

The rectangular emblem came with a black rubber seal. The round emblem came with a clear round seal that fit in the hollowed underside of the emblem.

The early-1962 models also had a unique side script combination. There was a 6-inch KARMANN script with a small 1-inch tall Ghia cloissinae shield.
