So, the seller of the saw above did provide the serial number today:

Here is the serial number. S106100918014. Please
let me know what you find. I was told that it is
an actual Stihl.

I left a message at Stihl headquarters today to try to identify it.

Anybody know what the prefix "S" means?

I spoke with Stihl today.

The technician said that the serial number should be 9 digits and should not start with an "S". The plot thickens again.

I bet this saw is a knockoff.

Just saw your thread. Been a while sense I been on here. A while back I posted a link to the place that people can join and get and sell china copies of the Stihl you are talking about. Guy on Ebay is selling them. Check out http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=9809&page=417
 
Bottom line...I shouldn't have even bothered...and I know better...but I don't have an anger management problem...I have a STUPID PEOPLE problem.... :laugh:

just trying to help self-destructive mankind from killing itself.... :rolleyes:








Stupid people shouldn't breed:bang:

I spoke to the guy, am waiting for a call back regarding the model numbers.

EDIT--I never got the model #s via phone, but went to look at the saws anyway. Small saws, the only one of interest to me was the Echo 302. It was difficult to start, wouldn't idle without spinning the chain or dieing. At least I didn't drive very far.
