Disston no 77 Backsaw for hard wood – no set – my Dad's pride and joy.This is a very nice example of a Disston no 77 Backsaw. The 77 doesn't have a strong Disston Etching, in fact I can barely make out a faint ghost of the etch...so just figure it is almost impossible to see. The blade is straight and the handle is nice (there are faint owner's marks on it). Overall this is a beautiful saw and just glows with a nice patina.Please l...ook at the pictures and decide the condition and age for yourself.I am going to tell you what the note my Dad left with this saw says:1876 H. Disston and SonsNo. 77 No Set Tenon Saw. Taper Ground@ .020-.03013PPI-12PPI Progressive Pitch And Rake8°- 10° (in 3”)Now here is the deal. Don't start emailing me and telling me my Dad was a liar. Look at the pictures yourself and decide how old the saw is, what condition it is in, and how much you are willing to pay. I am putting it up for auction at a price I am willing to part with it. There is no reserve, and I won't sell it early. I don't know if it is from 1876, but that is what Dad wrote. If you feel compelled to email me and tell me it is from some other time period --- you know what? I won't know. I am not an expert on old saws... and I won't know if you are an expert on saws either. So, it won't do any good. If you want to have fun with an auction go look up the Gent's saw Dad had with the J.J. Hill brand. I think that one is kind of fun. Please email questions before bidding and ONLY SHIPS TO A USA ADDRESS. I am going to charge a flat fee of 14.99 for shipping. Please check out my other auctions for other Disston saws and wood working tools. Best wishes and best of luck if you bid. JrightL Ps. Oh yeah, if you feel compelled to email me and ask me to end the auction with a buy it now offer…it probably ain’t gonna happen.
