I have sent along a few pictures of a couple of saws that I have. The one on top is the one I was trying to get some info on a week or so ago. It was my dad's saw and I am just glad to get it looking decent again. The one on the bottom is the one that I am trying to find out about now. It is a 22" panel saw marked DIsston Canada. The etch is still good and you can plainly read the D-8 mark but at the bottom oif the Keystone it says Toronto, Canada and the medallion reads Disston, Canada. The bottom of the blade is stamped 12, so it is finer than any D-8 I have seen made in the USA.

I have looked online and seen no reference to these saws, Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James Davis
