I am neither a saw collector nor an expert on saws, but as a Philly native I have a fondness for old Disston saws, and I try to describ...e any saw I list to the best of my ability and limited knowledge. The medallion and handle design indicate to me that this one was made after 1947 but prior to 1955 - I think not later than 1953. This one has some dark areas mostly toward the front, somewhat all over, but etch is still clearly readable. The handle broke in a few places, but in typical Pennsylvania Dutch fashion, the previous owner put some screws in the handle and kept on using it. It's a bit loose but I haven't tried to tighten it, and I don't think the previous owner used any glue when reassembling it. There is a "10" stamped at the heel. See pictures. Medallion reads "DISSTON / U.S.A." Measures 29-3/8" overall, leading edge to heel is 26", 6-1/4" tall top of handle to edge, handle is 15/16" thick, weighs 1 lb 8 oz. Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for looking, and good luck!

Note to bidders outside of U.S. - I generally ship using First Class International mail, which is the cheapest way I can send items. However, it does not provide tracking or insurance like Priority Mail Express, and it is slower than Priority Mail. If you do not specifically request one of the Priority services, I will use First Class mail, but I will not be responsible if your package does not arrive for any reason, and I cannot provide any information once it has been processed for shipment. I will not offer a refund for non-delivery. Please keep this in mind when you bid. Thank you very much.
