i think i saw that before it got scorched there, i'll check them tomorrow as i know they are all still covered in snow/sawdust that hasn't melted yet and most of the locks are frozen too:thumbup:

The number on the bar coded sticker is the serial number

Its stamped in the housing just by the exhaust on most if nt all stihl rear handled saws, and there is a riveted plate near the oil tank on huskies. If your stihl number is obscured by exhaust carbon dont worry, that wipes off.
