Then it is just a "consecutive" number with no dating code in it. That said, it has to be made 1973 or later (because it is a "L"), and production of that model family (65 and 77) allegedly was moved to the Tomos factory in Yugoslavia around 1974. I haven't seen any exact info on when the production of the 77 was mowed though, and if it was a 100% "clean" transfer.

Most likely your saw was made in 1973/74, or shortly after that - but I wasn't "there", so I can't say for sure.

So your saying it's that old .. I was thinking it was made in 1980s what was the production years of the L77 ? So that means points lasted 40 + years they have never been changed since for sure 1983 that's wild . If you seen how much wood this L77 cut you just would not believe me. lol thanks for the info.. saw pulls 20 inch .404 skip chain thru oak like hot knife thru butter. What was list price on saw in 1974?.

A Swedish made 77 can't be much newer than 1974, if at all. A Tomos/Yugoslavia made one can be quite a lot newer though - they kept up production of older Husky models quite a long time some times. Some times those Yugo (later Slovenia) saws were sold by Husky, some times not. The decision to move production of older Husky models to Yugoslavia wasn't taken by Husky, it was on the initiative of the infamous Swedish prime minister Olof Palme - to help industry in Communist Yugoslavia (he was befriended with the Yugo dictator Tito).

If it says "Made in Sweden" on it, it isn't a Yugo/Slovenia saw. I would like to see a picture of the number tag of that saw.

Thanks - but not really. Someone just wrote my user name with @ in front of it - and then it gets my attention. It is that way with any member, not just me.

Got a FedEx package heading this way with a sachs dolmar 112 and a poulan model 68 sandcast with a bow. I wont be able to focus all day now

I have a package coming sometime soon also, but nothing as exciting as saws. Finally ordered a pressure-vac kit. Quite excited to be getting one, especially after all my issues I've been having lately.

That tag is inconclusive, as it

1) doesn't say "made in" on it but then the early ones didn't

2) doesn't say Tomos and/or Yugoslavia on it.

Most likely it is a Swedish tag though, but I don't really know if some early Tomos ones looked the same, I dont think anyone does know for sure today.

Here's a typical Tomos tag:
