New Stihl 070s
Here is the only e-mail I got, the one from the guy who resold his after one job:
Hi, I purchased the saw at a local small engine repair shop this spring. This guy at this little small engine shop originally had three of these saws brand new in a box one of them he sold about 3 months before me and the last one he said he was keeping for his own personal collection. He fixes and sells new and used chainsaws but he is not a liscensed dealer. He told me he had purchased 3 of these saws brand new from some wholesaler he had connections through. I have been unable to find out where this saw was made. Unless I'm not looking in the right spots it simply does not have a tag saying where it was made. I've tryed looking up the serial number which lead me to another dead end. I called Gary whom I bought the saw from and he told me that the major components like engine would have been made in Germany and Switzerland but the rest he said could be made anywhere because i guess Stihl has manufacturing plants all over the world. I would like to believe Gary but I am always a skeptic so I will keep trying to find answers. I hope this answers any questions. Thanks
