Very nice! The Italian saws that I like have eluded me so far. Still looking for a Landoni L110 and a Castor or Alpina 120.

The alpina 120 or castor is on my list as well.

I have a possible lead on one but it's not blue.

I have most of the other old Echos but this model is virtually non-existent in Japan. A very difficult to find saw anywhere...

my big brown box finally arrived today safely I might add. I won't mention names but the former owner did a amazing job at getting this packaged up for a safe delivery.
That crate looks familiar...
What a great bunch of guys.

I believe you had your hands on it at one time.
I was hoping to get my hands on it. Oh well. At least it's in good hands
and hopefully i'll get one someday.

So I'm in Jordan for work this week, and spent some time exploring in the desert today. Came across this place with a temple carved out of solid rock. I'm thinking to myself, I'll bet they used a Stihl 090 GS (gear drive stone cutting) to do that! So I was looking for one for my buddy @NewToStihl, but wasn't able to find one anywhere. Bummer!
I had a holy grail saw arrive today. Many thanks to a fellow member.
As soon as the weather clears I will post pic's.

Well least give us a hint of what it is
Not long ago I wrapped my hands around one of my personal holy grail saws, a sand cast Lightning. We don't often find 'perfect' examples with the rare ones, and this one is not perfect. On my wish list is that it hadn't been restored/repainted and that it had the correct early recoil cover plate with the FM logo stamped into the center. However, I couldn't be happier with it and the fact that I got the opportunity to own it!
Just in case anyone is harboring one that needs a new home, Scott hit the nail on the head above by pointing out that I would certainly like to get my grubby mitts on an 090G Stone Saw!!!

If it's the one that I'm thinking of, it's green and runs on diesel, but it's not a John Deere...
That is a sweet Contra!!! Too bad on the repaint, but you're right -- you're not likely to run across a minty unmolested one. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a recoil cover plate.

Sounds Smokey
I have a few more Grail saws waiting for me when I get home from my trip later today -- Mrs. Bulletpruf (aka, The Long-Haired General) has informed me that several boxes have arrived in the past few days. One should be the KMS4 that I posted pics of a few weeks ago. Another should be XF #10. And the XA diesel with the crate (pics posted earlier) should have arrived, too.
And another recent arrival is a gorgeous Mac 797 that one of the members here is intimately familiar with - it's been completely gone through and was rebuilt with an extensive amount of NOS parts. Can't wait to bury the bar in some hardwood and let 'er eat!

Bad news - shipping a beautiful Jonsereds XF to a member in the states.
Shipping out a very nice Husky MS90A, too.
But the good news - got me another one of those twin cylinder Solo saws on the way...
