My top handle also says, "Professional". Increased value! I guess the P in AVP means Professional. Though you would think that the TH model would be the pro saw. Your back trigger has a throttle lock like mine as well. Keeps that trigger wide open! Oops... OSHA approved?
Yours is actually an AVP, but the tag says AV. Also your badge on the recoil does not come out like mine does. Mine has two screws on either side so it can be removed, like the one that I posted from Fleabay above. For making into belt buckles. I guess you could just drill out the rivets to salvage the emblem though. These were all made in West Germany I believe. Starting in 1972 or so.
Anyone have the PDF service manual for these? I have the IPL, but no SM for this saw. One of the few I do nto have in the entire Stihl line.
