Mike great piece, amazing how quality tools will last several lifetimes and oh yeah, I bet they make excellent 2nd hands for holding slippery gear cable ;-)
Damn you lucky guy, can't believe you posted that story with no pics though, that's unacceptable :-p
Here's a pic of my Dad's Mitre/Backsaw _(guessing similarly about 50-60 years old)_ I inherited off my oldest brother when lockdown hit in '20 and I finally started back after my wood working passion from school. There was a piece missing from the handle, didn't have the exact wood, so replaced it with some green heart and was going to colour/die it to match, but then liked that it showed the repair and wasn't so "annoying" after all.
Also going to throw in a pic of some saws I got from a friend _(where his Dads)_ and the custom purple heart handles I made for them :-)
