As a single owner, Mr Albert Vigeant, an expert logger from the village of St-Zenon province of Quebec,Canada, manipulated this saw in many camps in "Lanaudiere" county of Berthier...logging area from September 11th 1951 to 1957. I acquired the saw from his son Luc who provided the pictures, documents and original receipt of sale. You can see Albert Vigeant operating this saw including a bow-saw and a MCCulloch3-25.
