VERY UNUSUAL CA 1850 JAMES MARSH BRASS BACK SPLIT NUT SAW - DOUBLE CROWNS

Ca 1850 as per Simon Barley's great book on British saw makers. Beautiful early saw with unusual conical steel screws and split nuts. 10" long. Handle is excellent noting the bottom horn looks ever so slightly shortened and the top has a small nick off on each side. Great maker stamps along the brass back including two that may be crosses or crowns. I have not seen this particular image before on any early saws. Great condition for its age.

**All edge tools may need to be sharpened/honed before use**
