Nice, and split nuts too.

It's a beautiful old saw and the cleaning job nicely done. Hard to see in the pictures but it looks like a rip saw?
This Henry Disston. . .
Not Henry Disston & Son, not Henry Disston & Sons, but Henry Disston. Well done Miller! In all honesty I am jealous.

Best to leave that one as is.
this is the little Disston from my haul a few days ago, (the lower picture is from before filing so the teeth are wonky) It cuts so smooth compared to any other saw i own. the Etch showed p very quickly with only light sanding with 1200 grit. the remainder of the plate was sanded to 400 grit as a finish and i left the handle alone for the most part. the lighting in the first picture makes it seem more "rusted" than it actually is. much like miller and his little joinery saw, i love this thing
weird, i checked with Disstonian, if it's right this thing was a D8 that left the factory with a D7 handle. it appears better quality than most D7 handles. that's weird.
edit: looking at the medallion, it uses the 1917 style medallion, they didnt make the D7 until 1928. there is so much wrong with this saw
soo update, apparently it's a D8 panel saw, i was just bein dumb
