The time span for the Super Formula 602 is about 1957-1959. It precedes the introduction of the Formula 602 series but uses the same alloy.
There is an entirely separate series called Super which is not made from Formula 602 alloy and came much later.
This has caused a lot of confusion over the years. The B20 Super Swiss Made seems to come in two versions, one with the Formula 602 line and one without.
There is also a second style which looks like the Early Formula 602 stamp and has Super written to the upper right, And just to round things off there are embossed stamps which look like the Early Formula 602 stamp but leave off the Formula 602.
This variation is thought to represent the evolution of the trademark for the Formula 602 series just as it was coming out.

We can't yet say whether there are any cymbals with the Super Swiss Made stamp (no Formula 602 line) which might be some other alloy like NS12. There are some untested claims to that effect. Untested claims meaning that a piece of the cymbal has not yet gone for lab analysis.
