January 12, 1951
If I'm not mistaken, the tag reads "Collaudata il", which is Italian for  "checked or tested". 
Next to this word is 1.12.1951
1st Dec 1951
Hi all, my name is Claudio and I live in Italy.

Furthermore I was looking at this wonderful Italian chainsaw I would help you with the translation.

I confirm to you that "collaudata il" is "checked at" so it's also correct "tested", but the date format is different because we put the day first, then the month and finally the year, so where the tag say 1,12,1951 is december, the first 1951 (not january 12).

Thanks in advance for your help, your web site is great, I really like it :)

Regards

Claudio Guerrini
