Antique Henry Disston & Sons D-20 Lightweight Pattern hand saw, dating to approximately the 1917–1927 period.
This is the desirable narrow-blade skew-back D-20, measuring approximately 26 inches at the blade and having approximately 8 points per inch crosscut teeth. The original blade etching remains visible, including the Henry Disston & Sons keystone trademark, D-20 designation, and Henry Disston script.
Features an attractive carved and polished applewood handle with extensive wheat/foliate carving, five brass fasteners including the small 13/16-inch DISSTON / PHILA medallion, and the earlier pre-1928 handle configuration.
Period Disston documentation confirms that the 26” D-20 was offered with 7–11 point crosscut teeth and describes it as a lightweight skew-back saw with a carved applewood handle and brass screws.

No attempt has been made to polish or restore the blade. Please review all photographs closely for condition. Sold as pictured.
