Description
A very large (48 x 18 cm.) bow frame amputation saw with 15 degree offset fine toothed blade and octagonal walnut? handle.
Probably German in origin and stamped MANG, this saw has seen use over the past 250 years but has withstood the test of time. Pistol grip handle has cracks (stable) and a chip to one facet but is robust with a steel rod running the full length internally. Ornate thumb screw tensioner to the fine toothed blade (some wear to teeth near the proximal end). A very good European example.
