Think it might be a Jonered 621 . 56cc made from 1970ish to 1980ish ? Any ways Andrew its an oldun like me !

 

This is an earlier saw than the 621 - the possible candidates are the 60, 601, 75 and 751 - before we study the details.....

 

My intuision tells me it most likely is a 75 or a 751, but I don't remember the differences between those.

Yes the first saw is defiantly a 75 but this second saw is a mystery here is another view

Thanks saw troll I thought they looked similar but the different colour threw me but either way it feels a nice balanced saw :thumbup:

The description says Model Profile: XG

 

COLOUR SCHEME: Red and Silver enamel

 

So I believe SawTroll is right

It reminds me of how far ahead of the game Jonsereds were in the late 60s as well as how potentially dangerous saws were then. My first gang leader was a bit older than I am now, he started during the war, and he slipped up on bluebells with a danarm and carved off his calf muscle. It had healed by the time I worked with him but just the shin bone left.

Hmmm...gonna show my ignorance now:blushing:. I thought jonsered was another word for knackered lol. Good find & an interesting thread.
