Help identifying old chainsaw

[sheffy]

Hi everyone

 

I've seen a chainsaw local to me but the seller has no idea what it is and said there is no model number. He's advertised it as an "Oregon chainsaw".

 

Can anyone help identify the saw from the limited pictures? 

 

Is it worth picking up?

 

Cheers

Norlett?

Thanks for the suggestion as it's pointed me towards Jobu L6, which is the closest I've seen.

You're right with the Jobu.. this is a decent explanation.

Are they any good?

How to you define good?

 

Not  gonna be the best for pratical usage as nearly 60yr old.

 

Will have not have good AV and be heavy.

 

Might be of interest to someone who likes collecting old chainsaws though....

Thanks all. 

 

Are they particularly collectable? It is cheap so I'm tempted to pick it up.

Looks rare, so probably collectable to the right person.

@shavey might know more?

Definitely a Norwegian Jobu saw of the type manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s depending on the model which were prefixed with a letter “L”. Jobu stopped making saws 41 years ago. Vintage saw/museum piece but someone might be able to get it going.

A jobu. There are jobu collectors out there, but as an investment purchase they never make great money. Its not a rare model in the range either...to the right person maybe worth...£50-£80.
