Mine is Danarm Junior -48 (Tornado in US/Canada) and BE-Bo -49.

I have a collector friend that has a Sector from 1916.
 
Mine's not the oldest saw, per say. But prob one of the oldest Echo's 1966 CS-60s. Came out in 1965. Still being made unchanged today, 41+ years...Bob

I have Russian Druzhba, which is produced 50 or more years and is produced now too, practically unchanged. This saw is probably the one produced in more quantity than any other saw in the world! But it is known only in states of the former USSR.

Is that saw of the handle bar type ?

Here`s mine although I`ve had it less than a week. It`s a Homelite C 5 in excellent condition all the way around. Kenskip gave it to me before he headed for Texas.

Thanks Ken!

According to the tag I`d say the saw is a `57.

If you look at the fan cover the year of it is casted.
I have one from -58 and one from -82, both bought new in Litauen, imported here from a dealer there.

The bars a a bit different, they have springs to keep tension constant. This means it will never need to get any slack. Dispite great differances in temp.
This and Ural is the ony saws that last in Sebiria according this dealer anyway.
 
You know, the Druzhba is a rather unusual saw, though the HVA 262XPH is set up the same way.
