I know I might seem a bit a bit thick ... but whats an AV ?? 

Anti Vibration mountings that isolate the engine and bar from the front and rear handles . Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome is a degenerative disorder of the nerves and blood supply, it is incurable so best avoided, we used to know it as "white finger" and I developed it many years ago

I don't think so but then neither did most saws of the period. The first forestry saws I used around 1975, Jonsered 621/80, did have AV but no chain brake, first saw I had with a chain brake was probably Husky 162.

Yea . The two saws I had Were a little Alco top handle with no AV and a big old Jonsered 621 or 601 they look similar . All metal ! Justb remembered ...contact breaker points ! 😀  @openspaceman

Yep when you pick up a 621 now it feels amazingly heavy but it was so much lighter and ergonomic than the Danarm 110 I had used on the fsrm before. The first chainsaw I bought as a self employed feller was a HUSKY 280 cd  the cd meant capacitor discharge I think. I wanted a Jonsereds because they were "cooler" in the forest but a discount shop in the hills above Haslemere had already sold me a husky 165r a couple of years earlier so I went with him.
