Thats a good point, a quick check of date codes on plastics would answer that.
XP or Not ?

A Great Big thanks to all for the info, I read some of the other threads earlier and was a bit confused.

I wander if the changes in the cylinder was one difference to the SE to the XP. My rebuilt saw has a decomp Mahle. That saw is an SE. I used an Ebay cylinder.on it. My parts saw is also an SE but has a non decomp Kolbenschmitt cylinder it is all original.

As sawtroll eluded to there seem to be many iterations and variations of stuff, seemingly based on what boxes they had at the warehouse at a given time. Look into the 266se/xp/268xp/268 saws. Loads of variations in cylinders/covers/badges etc that loosely follow ipl's but odd examples pop up. Not saying this saw one of those, but hard to judge a saw by its covers, so to speak

True - but that sticker would have been on the top cover, that obviously has been replaced by a newer one on that saw.

I don't know of a single case where the cylinder (design or make) changed at the same time as the model designation - and often it went back and forth between the cylinder brands (KolbenSchmidt, Mahle and Gilardoni). On some models all three brands were used - the 262xp is one of them, the Jonsered 670 Super/Champ another. Likely there are more.

I know but I was wondering if all saws in '89 had the sticker on them?

The more you know, the more you realize that you still don't know - a normal development, that I am caught in....
...and there are no end to it, for anyone.

As far as I know, some very late 1988 ones (like week 51-53) meant to hit the market in 1989, and all 1989 ones.
Mistakes do happen though, and Swedes usually are at least semi-drunk on mondays....

Well , why we're at it how about this one
Off of a 281xp, doesn't say on tag, but says on starter cover and top cover.
Is this an '88 ?
Thx in advance,

That no doubt is a 1988 week 10 281xp.
All 281s were xp and even some late production 181s were.
An add from 1986:
