Antique Hand Saw Carved Wood Handle Warranted Superior Medallion

A substantial antique panel or rip hand saw featuring a beautifully carved wooden handle with decorative leaf/feather motifs. The handle retains nice warm wood tone on the reverse side and is secured to the blade with four large medallion-style split nuts. The bottom medallion nut bears a stamped inscription that reads 'Warranted Superior' or similar period marking, a common quality mark used by American and British saw makers from approximately the mid-1800s through early 1900s. The blade is long and tapers to a fine point in classic hand saw fashion, with fine crosscut teeth still present along the full length. Overall length appears to be approximately 26 to 28 inches. The blade shows heavy surface oxidation and patina throughout, with no visible etching or maker's etch remaining on the blade face. The wooden handle shows significant age wear, scratches, and darkening, though the carved decorative details remain legible. Teeth appear intact but would benefit from sharpening and setting before functional use. A great piece for a vintage tool collector, display, or rustic decor.
