Disston D7 Backsaw

[Yadda]

This Disston  D7 (maybe D4) backsaw was found in the same wall cabinet as the D8 and the Atkins No. 25.  The teeth are almost non-existent.  The badge, handle, screws, and imprint on the back rib seem to indicate it was manufactured between 1876 and 1886ish. However, my analysis may be way off.  I would love to put this one back to work, but recutting the teeth may be outside my skill set or price range.

Recutting teeth is quite a project, pretty much an art. I tried once, failed pretty miserably

The handle looks perfect, maybe keep an eye on ebay for one with decent teeth and a busted grip and go from there
I just looked, figure $20
