Hi the 070 looks a very good copy,it says new but there looks to be a few scratchs on it and if it was an original 1960s stihl 070 new old stock bought with it original bar it would say made in west germany on the bar and not just germany.

The sad thing is that this has now sold despite me informing ebay that it was a fake.

Ebay make very little effort to protect buyers.

As they say, buyer beware!

Is it a fake though ? Like I pointed out earlier there are still country's producing these and 090's.

Understand what you are saying but when does it become a fake ? E.G. some modern companys buy up all the old tooling for something that has been out of production for , say 20 years . Ship it out to say, India or somewhere and go into production . The product is identical in every way but not made in the original location or even country but made with the original tooling . Is that a fake ? It is possible to make a spitfire mk IV from original tooling with a Merlin engine ( not cost affective but possible ) but it will never have seen service in the battle of Britain ........Is it still a Spitfire ?
