Therefore im starting to wander if stihl reversed the way they stamped there serial numbers around 1990, I don't know when my 10mm 044 was made as theres no real way of dating it and I didn't obtain it new.
wisecobandit, seeing my 1992 066 had the reversed to date serial # that would be safe to say that 1990-91 was correct.
The 044 was the state of the art at the time but we have to go back much earlier to 1984 when the 024AV and 034AV were introduced with the revolutionary side tension screw, new lightweight ergonomic  design, and quick access air filter, then in 1986 the 14.1 lb 85cc 064AV was born along with the "big boy" 084. The 70 cc 044 was not ready yet in 1986 so the upgraded 038 Magnum was introduced.
I really enjoyed working for Stihl, I fully believe Hans Peter as a second generation owner was still very intense as his father Andreas was . I hope the new 3 rd generation son is just as dedicated.
The pioneering 024, 034, 044, 064, 084  were definitely a generation of saws that still encompass design we enjoy today.
