Disston D-8 thumbhole rip saw, 26 inches, 5-1/2 pts
back side of saw
Handle - Front side
Handle - back side

Saw-32
Price: $80.00 plus shipping

Condition: Sharp, smooth & dead straight, with some minor pits. I scraped all the red rust off with a sharpened chisel.

The apple handle is 99% undamaged, except for a tiny chip off the back side of the upper horn; 2% of the finish remains.


Medallion This is a 1917-1940 medallion design. The 8 in the plate's etch is inside the "D" so the saw dates before 1928, according to Erik Von Sneidern's Disstonian Institute webpage.
