    Hello all,

    When I was researching the M and C handsaw that I put on here a little while ago, I looked in BSSM and on page 403 were some quite extraordinary backsaw stamps for this company. To put it mildly, I was envious of such a stamp.

    And a few days ago this saw came up on Ebay on a buy-it-now for a very reasonable price, probably because the handle leaves a little to be desired.

    BSSM has a date for this style as circa 1840.

    Apart from the stamp it is quite an ordinary saw - apart from the stamp!!

    Fred
