Stihl Serial Numbers

[oologahan]

Is there a way to tell what year my Stihl 08/10 was made S/N 2120016? Thanks

in Scandinavia they wrote that they send no. to the manufacturer to decode it, although apparently it takes a long time for them to come down with the answer ;-)

1969 +/- 1 yr, made in Germany.
According to worhshopist.com "decoding Stihl part numbers and serial numbers".
It seems accurate enough with my saws anyway
