Hmm,

This guy is selling two 070's one is genuine, the other ??

stihl 070 petrol chainsaw , a genuine low hour saw mint condition perfect runner | eBay

 

stihl 070av 36" cut chainsaw mint condition very low hours use | eBay

Second one looks toooo new but I am no expert on Stihl saws of that age ...

[wisewood]

That's what I thought too. The Stihl badge is wrong on the flywheel and the clutch cover has Stihl on it whereas the genuine one has nothing.

Someone has said before that they are still made in Brazil but I reckon that's got to be a good fake.

2nd has OEM top, OEM starter, but looks like it has been painted white, carb looks new, has serial etched on the ridge, fuel breather looks replaced, but looks correct, it's got the old dogs, not the copys that have the chain catcher hole

First has a lot of obsolete parts that the Chinese don't make, once again it's been painted (badly) and stihl has been written with marker pen, both have the old style crank case

Have you noticed the ink stamp (p2?) on the casing behinds the dogs? That wouldn't have been around when that saw was made?

Im not convinced about saw 2 either.
