Looks like a Lombard to me. Are you sure on the 69cc? Would like to see a PTO side including cylinder cooling fins and muffler arrangement. I'm thinking possibly 50 or 51.
I often wonder whos came up with this design originally. As the Homelite XL, and Remington PL,SL, 55-65cc series all shared the same design. Either way it was a cool find and powerful saw.
 
Does appear to be a Lombard based model, likely AP/AL 42 or Comango, both 69cc. There was also one in this chassis at 80+cc, model escapes me but possibly Lightening something or other. Then also a model with a/v.

From evidence I've come across, the XL12 was the first of this design but the competition was very close to follow, which muddied the history a bit.

i will try to get some pictures in the morning, those Lombard's look like a replica, it looks like they were based off my saw, cause mine has only lines with fittings not fuel lines

You are a very generous man Jay. I will keep that in mind.

Do you know anything about the history of Dynamark/Lombard? Mike Acres doesn't have anything for Dynamark and a Google search doesn't yield a lot of information.

The fellow that dropped off the Dynamark saw said he ordered it from the back of a "Grit" magazine (Celebrating rural America since 1882). Turns out Grit magazine is still around and available in print or digital version...

I don't know anything about Dynamark and only a little about Lombard, but that saw looks just like the AP 42 I have on display. Hunt's saw shop in Roseburg sold a bunch of Lombards back in the late 60s/early 70s. My dad carried one in his pickup toolbox for some years. Pretty sure it was a Comango.there was also a Super Lighting @83cc.

The Dynamark trademark was held by several companies over time. I found the trademark owned by Briggs and Stratton at one time and also AYP (American Yard Products).
