No!
Local hardware store had them on sale all summer.
I guess people had no clue what they are missing not buying one , lest several.
I got maybe half a dozen, lost track stashing them in my spares box.
I am still utilizing the very first one I bought, no issues other than some minor deformation of the upper half that holds the outlets from the heavy gauge nylons I have been feeding it - doesn't affect functionality, yet.
My favorite square nylon, the white one, is on 30% off sale till Wednesday, I gotta go and get a couple spools if they're not sold out.

Try Google Lens searching my picture of the head.
I got numerous results, just none located in the US.
I did give one of my Temu copies a try - steer clear!
It may look nice, but it doesn't work as it should - it releases lengths of line even without being bumped.
It can barely handle light gauge nylon (2.4mm), lest heavy gauge (2.7mm, 3.0mm, 3.3mm)
OEM = black plastic body, orange plastic bump button, no typos within any of the cast in lettering.

The only thing that bothers me is the excessive vibration of the maples / I got 2 of them. throughout his career 
I'm taking care of the spring. It has several other Stihl and Husky clones that work flawlessly

Your trimmer was sold new with a 27-2, right? My fs131r was, and it has worked flawlessly with a variety of string. All .105. No oily spray, no soaking.I know this might not be the right spot for this thread but I am not sure exactly where to put it.I am sick of dealing with junk string trimmer heads. I have a Stihl FS130, FS350, and FS550 that I want to be able to use string heads on. Yes I know the 550 is best suited to a blade which is fine but I still need a damn good string head for the others. I have a Stihl 26-2 head on the FS130 now but the thing keeps jamming, even with .095. I am cutting heavy grass and small broadleaves. I am so sick of spending time tearing it apart. There is no way that is what folks that do landscaping for a business have to go through all day. I should be able to go through 100ft or more of line without issue. Of course that is with refills. What are others using?

The head has been stored for 27 years, so it intrigued me, it looks like the thread has a Stihl M10x1 thread.Each element has a part number. I found only the bottom cover online. There was no internet back then
