Found this hacksaw today, will adjust to use a blade from 10 to 14 inches long. No manufacturer name, unless DRGM? means something. But it's usable and cool!
Oh, I like that hacksaw!
Nice, does it have pins to hold the blades?
DRGM stands for Deutsches Reich Gebrauchsmuster (German: German Reich Registered Design)
1891-1945 (but some still used it till 1951)

Yes, it has the pins. And thanks for the translation!
Here she is refurbed and spiffed up.
Good job bonneyman. That looks nice.
Very nice!
How is it to cut with? looks a little awkward to use compared to something like a Millers Falls

Haven't cut with it yet. I set it up with a 32 TPI blade, to complement my Klien (18TPI) and my Wardsmaster (24 TPI). Soon as I need to cut some hard steel, we'll find out. Though I can already say the tightening rings are too small and hard to get really tight.
Nice hacksaw.
At one time, all hardware stores carried hacksaw blades in 10" and 12"; good hardware stores would even carry them in 8", if I recall correctly. though I could be misremembering. To my surprise, you can still get 10" blades; but I sure don't see them on the shelves in retail stores.
