What's YOUR Holy Grail Vintage Chainsaw List?

[bulletpruf]

Fellas -

I have really enjoyed collecting chainsaws in Europe, but I'm curious to hear what y'all consider to be the Holy Grails of the chainsaw world. One, if you have it, that qualifies as the centerpiece of just about any collection.

Here are mine:

1. Solo Twin
2. Dolmar KMS-4
3. Jonsered XF
4. Stihl Contra S
5. Comet Diesel

Honorable mention - Stihl BLK 57/58, Jonsered El Raket XB, Stihl 090G (didn't want to put another 1106 series on the list), Jonsered 111, Dolmar 166, along with something from Husqvarna, Homelite, and Poulan.

Your turn!

A Remington Pro 88 would be nice too... but not as nice as the Super 880.
