Is this saw related?

They are a nice restoration problem.

Handles can be re made.

Check the blade for rust pits, if not to bad, set the teeth.
If they break, they saw is dead.

Then after that away you go.

My grandads saws are in very good condition. Both pull saws. metal and handles are both perfect. I think one is even made by him, he was a tool maker

Very nice, Set the teeth then. Try a cut and you may be surprized.

A friend of mine was cutting some 3x2 with a very rusty old handsaw and making heavy work of it. I offered to sharpen and set it for him using the lower of the two tools in Parm's post. I cleaned it up and wiped it over with some oil and he set about the job again and swore blind I had swapped it for a different saw as he'd been using it in the previous state for years.
