old saw / still

[Dazonit]

I have just acquired this old saw it starts and runs and seems to be quit powerful for an old saw

any info on it when it was made are they a collectors item I think the bar is 17" and it seems quit wide

Trying to get pics up ?

That is a stihl 08s, it's the 2nd oldest saw still in production

The bar and chain is probably a .404 pitch with the same bar mount as a stihl 880. It has a chain brake so it's not that old

[Dazonit]

The chain break even works I can't believe its still in production as its no oil painting to look at don't think I'll be keeping this one:biggrin:

08s was still being made in Brazil I read. If the serial number starts with a 3 it was probably made there.

I don't know. There was a similar question on tree bay on Facebook about an 08s and I got my info from there, I was just trying took look intelligent but you found me out! I would like to know as well. I bet eddy T would know. Maybe I'll start a new thread.
