    I have just received this saw.
    I am thinking it might be a kitchen saw.
    The logo is feint and incomplete but definitely Spear and Jackson c1850 as seen on page 545 of Simon's book.
    The teeth cut on the push.
    I am hoping someone might have access to a Spear and Jackson catalogue of that era, with an illustration to confirm the use.
    My first new saw find for many years.
    Thankyou

    Your saw has a similar construction to the centre one in this group, made by Peugeot Freres (pic of John Ross's "kitchen saws")
    Les Fils de Peugeot Frères catalogue (1885) identifies it as a "couteau scie pour jambon" (saw knife for ham)
