It would appear that the saws were confiscated from illegal rainforest logging operations.
Alot of them look pretty busted up.
Many times the confiscated saws are piled up and a dozer or excavator runs over them til hardly reconcilable, those ones got off lucky. Looks like they might have seen some fire or smoke.

Maybe those saws weren't registered and therefore confiscated. Lol
I was thinking they looked dusty due to being in an open truck driving down a dusty road.
Have you registered your saws yet Jerry under the new chainsaw registry that the liberals just implimented?

1256 “lethal” chainsaws, 35,000 unsafe phone chargers, 400 tool sets and laser pens unfit for consumer use are amongst some of the products being destroyed following successful interventions at Felixstowe Port by Suffolk Trading Standards.
The products, shipped by three separate importers, were successfully intercepted as the containers were selected for examination because of their potential to cause serious injury. Following testing the danger was highlighted and the goods were detained with parts earmarked for destruction and recycling. The chainsaws were found to be missing some necessary parts for safe use. Although laser pens are not illegal in the UK these are deemed too powerful for non-professional use and therefore not appropriate for their destination.
This work highlights findings released by the National Trading Standards Board (NTSB) last week on surveillance and inspections at UK ports and borders. The report concludes that an estimated £1.11 million unsafe goods were prevented from entering the consumer market.
In 2012, 3.75 million consignments or 42% of UK container traffic came through Felixstowe, making it one of the largest points of entry in the UK. Most unsafe products that arrive at this port are toys, electrical appliances, smoke alarms, LED lights, chainsaws and dental equipment. Currently, of the goods being sampled, 78% are identified as unsafe

Cool thread from back a ways Gypo, this newb appreciates very much! May not be traditional North America style but loggin none the less. No matter if you're tall, short, black, white, make, female (cuz I have seen pictures of lumber jills in Alaska packin 076's and 090's) those are MEN swingin those saws around everyday! I definitely wouldn't wanna be the pigmy trying to steal a grub off their dinner plate. ........whoa buddy......be thumpin knowledge knots up on ya fore you even knew what was a hattnin'!! 
now we know why 070's are still being made
look at them, appears somewhat useable with some minor repairs
probably the most reliable and indestructible saw ever built
i cant think of any saw that has gone through 50+years production run

It really amazes me that the 070/090 is so revered, cause it is such a dog out of the box. Maybe cause they can take lots of abuse and parts are so widely available.
Irregardless, moving forward, and having said that, it's sad to see so many saws bight the dust. If they only knew that the saws are worth more than they get for timber they poach.
What has more value, a white rhino horn or a 13' dia Buremese Teak?
Forgive these butchers, for they know not what they do.
Hypocracy, money and lack of forest management plans come to mind.
Trees are glorified blades of grass, and we can't stop vegetated matter from growing.
If there isn't enough to go around for all of us, we need to reduce the population of the world.

Studies have shown that there are 2.7 million times more trees on earth than there are peoples.
So what that means, is that we are still in good shape.
Don't ask me for a link to this supposed study, I thought it all up by mine ownself.
It's all good.
