What they are telling you OP is your picture (as in singular) is crap. Nobody can even begin to tell you what you may have based on that one image. it shows none of the tell tale signs you would need to discover the Mark. Marque, Marck, Mrk, Marcus Aurilius, Mark my words…
Good luck! I'm out…

okay okay okay fair point. And I was specifically asking about the insert, but I am now tempted to say "Zuckerberg?"

Someone pretty knowledgeable elsewhere suggested late 90s service insert, which seemed questionable to me, but I am the farthest thing from knowledgeable.

Obviously I'd like to believe its a FF MK3, and most service dials I see seem to have much skinnier fonts...which is what gave me pause.

It’s the last of the mk3 inserts, a 3.3 to be exact.

Interesting, thank you everyone for the input.
I have reviewed various threads here, on VRF, and elsewhere on inserts, I haven't found anything that talks about 3.3 or breaks down the different MK3s anywhere, so I am grateful for your opinion/contribution.

Is this knowledge that you just have from first-hand experience or is there any kind of reference?

Still trying to learn....so much to learn....thank you again for the excellent info

Signed,
Wahlberg
