That is Kolve SS series chain. I have a piece of HP already, if you can provide a piece of that SS Series I may have the only display in the country with both variations in one place.
I will send a PM with my address. Thank you very much for helping me with this project.
FWIW, the Kolve chain and Atlas V-Pac (similar design) were evidently very well suited for cutting in dirty conditions. I've heard that a lot of people in the Northwest refer to the Kolve as "Mt. Saint Helen's Chain"; as I understand it a lot of that chain was used to harvest timber in the aftermath of the Mt. Saint Helens eruption. Kolve decided to discontinue the production of saw chain with ANSI and others required them to add additional anti-kickback features in their design. At least, that is the report I got from one dealer in NW Iowa that evidently sold a lot of it for use on timber in the Missouri river bottoms in his area. If you've ever cut river bottom/flooded timber you can attest to the fact that there is a lot of dirt and sand incorporated into the bark on those trees.
