Not so Nick. I had 4 hours spare today to complete the refurbishment.
I just wanted to prove to myself how easier it is to do complete a reasonable job.
I sanded the whole handle right back to clean wood.
Garnet shellac & a mix of Van Dyke Crystals to help restore some of the original patina lost during the sanding process.
I will have a closer look at better positioning the medallion. The saw nut I fitted to the medallion was slightly off center with the thread bore causing the medallion skew to 1 side once fully tightened. If I swap it over to a better, it should draw the medallion face back to a more pleasing center fit.

As Nick said, you slipped this in under the radar : Glad you did. I am seriously impressed.
I just love those lambs tongue handles. The epitome of simple, functional elegance. Wonderful.

As the others said, nice little saw, Stewie, & in amazingly good nick for its age.
I take it from the discussion you think the 'lamb's tongue' was added by an owner after purchase? Must've been done a long time ago, & done rather well, too.
I commented on another post recently that it's surprising how many closed handles have survived for 100 plus years with that sliver of wood joining the bottom of the grip to the cheek, intact. I know you come across many that are broken, but it's more of a wonder to me that they aren't all busted, given that the grain is short for most of the length, and it's a bit exposed to injury!
Cheers,IW
