DARK OF THE SUN SCREEN USED CHAINSAW FIRST EVER USED ON FILM AS A WEAPON?

The Grand Daddy of all Screen Used Chainsaws! This predates THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE by 6 years! The paint appears to be touched up during production shown by over spray around the spark plug area.
Same as the chainsaw used in the attack this a McCulloch Model 3-10 (or possibly a Model 4-10 or 5-10). This type of chainsaw was made by the McCulloch Motor Corporation from 1965-1967. The film was released in 1968.

You can watch the trailer showing this here!

IMPORTANT NOTE!
This was used as the utilitarian tool for many years since production. It was leaking oil when I got it but I have since drained completely. I believe the blade has been replaced and this to be that exact chainsaw. The source was old and retired, and Explained how he purchased it from a prop house in the 70's for use in another film unknown. The dates of manufacture sure adds up.
The story seems legit but I was only 1 at the time and proving this irrefutably is difficult.
THAT SAID, HIGH BID GETS IT!
