Welcome to the Forums Tumalin!
Does your saw have any markings on it? I bet someone can tell you the tooth pattern.

thank you for the help.
There is no visible mark.
It is arrived all rusty with 2 loop handles, one very old and cracked.
So i cleaned as possible and filed as i know.
In Italy we have no more tradition in those things so i have learned by youtube and forum like this...
I have made my own ergonomic handle
yes the back is thinner then the front.
Ciao

It looks like a Simonds No. 13. See a Simonds catalog at: https://crosscutsawyer.com/download/file.php?id=10
Or a Disston No.289 Virginian. See a Disston catalog at: https://crosscutsawyer.com/download/file.php?id=2821
Both saws are very similar with the small raker tooth on the starter teeth.

Thank you Jim.
Both are similar, the only little difference from the catalog is the groove for the loop handle at the end.

Hello, everyone. I want to show another saw from my collection. Purchased from ebay.uk for little money. it is 150 cm long ( 5 feet ). she's stiff and heavy. No taper ground.
I know it is not common in USA but this type of teeth is typical in Europe along with regular ones.
The brand is Francis Wood & Son from Sheffield. It was a NOS object.
Does everyone knows this brand or use this kind of saw?
Thanks

Nice saw. Yes, they are uncommon here despite being called a 'Great American' pattern saw. They are reported to be fast cutters.

I have one but it seriously needs some braces for them teeth, they're so messed up in considering pointing it and leaving it alone rather than recutting them

Nice Underbuck!
I was supposed to have taken a crosscut certification course this week, but they cancelled it a couple weeks ago.

I had a trail group that was supposed to do the training and go out with me on a chainsaw cert next week, that we cancelled.
However, I am taking a couple of the most dedicated out for a two on one cert, that will get the club functioning at least until we can put more than a couple people in a room together.
Unusual times.

Our re-cert was canceled, too. But thankfully the F.S. extended our certs for 1 year.
