Ok I am still reprofiling gullets on my 48" Plain tooth but I had to try to see what I have here...
This is the 5&1/2 felling perforated lance tooth I just picked up the other day...
I think I almost see Disston in one etch and a Keystone with the scale.
Other than that I am searching for similar images

Before you start sharpening the felling saw, take a chainsaw file and remove the bridges between the teeth, as at this point they are no longer serving a purpose. After jointing, your teeth are going to be a bit shorter anyway and you'll want room to reprofile them.

Thanks for that but a bummer..., take the perf out of the lance LOL!
Live and learn on what to look for...but will still be a great saw!
She is a few saws down the list but I definetly see and understand what and why to file out the bridges now that you suggested that.
Thanks Trailtime, I am certainly all in and can't wait to get more time in on my saws!

I am not home most of today but after viewing pictures relentlessly and chasing rabbits online with Google...scrolling these pages for hours...
Not conclusively but I think the newest felling saw I have is a Disston Triumph Toledo #598.

The plain tooth bucking saw I acquired here a couple days prior to the felling saw I have found a couple things on...
It is a Plain Tooth No. 2
It has two Atkins #4 handles
Pretty cool i think

Five and half feet. It has all its teeth and seems straight, the handle hardware is salvageable. I'll have to get a better picture for pro input - I run out of light on my side of the hill.

I just learned that lesson and I agree...nice long teeth to preserve the bridges
Great score!

I look forward to learning if you find an etch and or make and model. Western handle...nice sir!
I am working with a friend and may soon be acquiring a western set that lock in different positions and have the finger guard. I want to apply one to my 5' Plain Tooth here for single bucking...
And possibly put aside the other for a new saw to be found or mount it after I dress my 6' champion tooth and really scare the neighbors out at the Wood pile
Thats Charlene my awesome Disston 48, they came to me as a pair, sisters.

One.piece.Western by Agent Hierarchy
How common where "one-piece" Western handles? I guess meaning the guard is part of the spacer (or whatever that piece is called
).

Good question. If the one piece is the same as the fixed position western...for arguments sake I might guess the one piece more common than the multi locking position type simply due to cost perhaps??
I do not know part names to handles, but you have lit a fire for me to learn more about the handles of the crosscut

I wouldn't want to work anywhere near that fool!!!!!
The straight grip does not look ergonomic for that size saw. I wonder what a replacement blade will cost when you kink one.

I have several like that, they are quite common on the west cost. With the short end of the wood handle down it extends very little below the level of the teeth on a bucking saw and there is little advantage in having a handle that turns horizontal.

I met one hell of a great, stand up guy and after a short conversation we both did pretty well for each other.
Just need to get this blade in the vise
And because a guy gets thirsty he hammered this out for me...

Thanks Agent_H!
I am racing thru my day here hoping to get an hour to start in on the saw. My optimal goal would be to have her ready and cutting by the weekend...realistically we will see which weekend I actually get her ready.
The saw I picked up not to long ago, these new to me handles and bottle opener are awesome and will be cherished.
I have been wanting to find a western handle to mount on this blade, I am very fortunate.
The opener is a mule shoe. Damn awesome!
