saw

Description

Summary: 1 iron saw with two rivets; like modern Oriental, and most, if not all, early saws, the teeth slope towards the handle, so that the cutting was done as the blade was drawn back, the reverse way to that of modern saws; teeth set in twos alternately, 66 in number, from Battlesbury Camp, Warminster, Wiltshire.
