One of the bolts is the medallion. So, if possible I would try safest method to restore. Saw looks old and not used for long time. Before cleaning nuts and bolts, color was black, plate rusted. I just removed rust from the plate. Scratch pattern on the nut and bolt is continuous, so it was sanded probably long time ago. Problem is handle is moving 5mm up/down, it’s not fixed to the plate at all, I can pass a sheet of paper between handle and the plate.
Teeth are in a relative good shape, 15 TPI, there are only 3-4 shorter than others, but I plan to joint, file, set and sharpen it.

I’ve found this http://users.accesscomm.ca/galoot/splitnut/index.html with this method I don’t have to drill holes.
Between the handle and the plate it’s loose, there should be rusty, I’m worried about plate rust.
There is a way to treat wood with something, so it will expand back? If I put some raw linseed oil, theoretically he should suck it and expand back.

14 March 2017 at 2:52 pm #310147Sorry, I had a small vacation, here are photos.
Question was if there is a purpose to have it like this? It was common before to make saws with 45 degree rake?
I was thinking to resharpen it to a rip saw keeping tpi.
