What saw is this?

[PB]

Anyone know? I can't quite make out what it says on the side. Sorry for the crappy pic, the website won't let me link to the pic directly.

Old and really, really done for.

It may be some type or version of a Sally Saw. Someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to identify it for you hopefully. Max.

poulan?

I believe it's a precision model 1. Made from 1946 to 1952. Originally from quebec, later made in Connecticut.

poulan?

That's what I thought at first but I have not been able to find a Poulan that has that style of handlebars. Maybe the bow saw attachment is aftermarket?

See post above yours. Precision, factory bow bar. One of the few canadian bow saws. The plate on the rear handle (known as belly pan) was so that you could rest it against your legs or belly while cutting.
I checked one thing, and I am certain that's what it is. Real rare, and fairly valuable saw.

Thanks, we were typing at the same time. That make sense, Quebec is just across the border and the logging industries are intertwined. Thanks!
