Not an original 61 as they had a white top cover, the very first one was a Practica 61, they then moved onto the grey top cover, and the last one had an orange top cover, yours appears to be an 1987 vintage, the 61 was one of the longest running models all be it having many changes, on a saw this old it will need new av mounts as they do deteriorate being rubber, a number of parts are no longer available or replaced by complete assembly's so beware, good old school Swedish saw.

Mine was a white top, bought new in 80/81 or thereabouts.

 

Have to say, as far as my old grey matter can still recall, the 266xp is just that wee bit better in pretty much every respect, apart from needing a fair arm to pull the thing it's still a brilliant useable saw.

Great saw got 2 one is a 1987 model and the other is 1990 something both have different ignition modules the older one is 2 part. 

The older one has 15'' bar and 8 tooth sprocket it flies through wood at some point will put it up against a husky 560xp.
