Jordan, are you aware of there being more than one style of flexible saw? I have what has been called correctly or not, an Engineer's saw. It is very similar to yours except for it requires two-2 piece handles and comes in a larger, rectangular leather pouch (see pics). The case is embossed ROBCO LTD MONTREAL 1943 on the outside and has C<- and 202 stamped on the inside. I've looked in David B. Gordon's excellent book, "Equipment of the WW II Tommy" and on pg. 171 it shows the same saw and pouch as you have. I wonder if you or anyone else reading this thread may know of the correct designation and issue of the saw I have?



CHIMO!
