Saw identification - Jonsered(s?) 630

[djbobbins]

Seen this for sale locally; last time I used a baby Jonsered (Husky copy if I understand correctly) it was okay.  
 

This one looks like a different beast - it seems to have been well used but previous posts rate Jonsered 630 saws highly - which it looks like from what I can see.  Although the slightly weird naming on the starter cord cover is odd…

 

Thoughts on ID much appreciated!

Found pics on other threads showing that the saws were sold with metal chain brakes

Logo looks normal to me. Whats weird about it? Admittedly i cannot zoom in for a really clear look

It says “Jonsereds” rather than Jonsered.  Rest of the saw looks kosher, but well used from the pics.

The older ones all have the extra S?

 

 

They must have dropped it at some point bit odd.

Ah, okay, thanks.  
 

The guy has just messaged me back to say he has just sold it 😞

The original name of the company was jonereds....which changed later on to simply jonsered. There is nothing unusual on that saw...the name badge is correct

Shame, they were solid workhorses, well built machines if a bit heavy now.

I had one I did up and used for a while, nice machine and had the later plastic chain brake guard.

Jonsered were not actually " copy's "  of Husqvarna they were a manufacturing company in their own right . Later on when they joined/taken over by husqvarna some models sheared some parts . Eventually it all came under the umbrella of Electrolux .and then later it wasn't . I don't know who owns who now . You can buy , say a Huqvarna 562XP and there is red equivalent . The plastics look different but underneath I think they are the same now . The  "Jonnyreds " seem harder to find over here .  In the past I remember some cutters regarding the red saw as the Lexus and the orange saw as the Toyota if you get my meaning . I think this was bollox though !

Looks like a 625 mk2, but can’t be sure.

I had one about 25 years ago and it was a good strong saw, around 60cc and would cut anything in a hurry.

Husqvarna still own Jonsered, Partner, and Mcculloch, They are still available in many countries, but unfortunately no longer sold in the UK.
