I picked up a Disston 14" backsaw today -- 'H Disston & Sons Philada' medallion, etch is very faint, but visible -- the coat of paste wax I applied seems to make it more difficult to read. The stamp on the spine is very clear and easy to read.
My first question is this -- is it normal for the distance from the bottom of the spine to the teeth at the toe (3") to be different than the distance at the heel (3 1/4")? I hope I wasn't too confusing, but the blade seems to be inserted in the spine crooked. If this isn't normal, can this be fixed? With the handle off, I can see that if I tried to move the blade further into the spine at the heel, the spine would cover the top sawnut hole.
My second question is this -- in the second to last photo, you can see the teeth at the heel. Are there some broken teeth there, or are they just shaped differently than on the rest of the saw teeth?
Thanks,
Dave
