Bar nose ID

Identifying a bar is easy as long as the writing on it is still legible and the paint is intact. The information we need to know is the length (usually in inches) and the bar gauge (which will correspond to the chain gauge). If the bar has a nose sprocket it is useful to know the nose sprocket pitch)
