I've read a few times about the date code and I can't find it in my 100-400L

I've bought it on february in Switzerland. Looked in the barrel, near the front and back element :oops: ... nothing. Any hint appreciated

Thanks!

usually back on the black area between the glass and the metal mount, however sometimes they're pretty tricky to find
