Stihl Chain

Most "old and obsolete" Stihl dealers have no idea what I am talking about when I ask for a roller chain for a Contra. Stihl USA provided me with the part number, but only suggested trying the dealers I had already contacted. Intertech Chainsaw Manual, second edition, shows the chain drive on two different models. I have been in contact with a "collector" from Europe and he has had no luck either, but suggested perhaps this model was used in South America. At some point he touched base with the Stihl India people and they could not help. I will be in touch with another friend tomorrow that might be able to help. This has turned into a real challenge!!
