Old dovetail saw

[Yorkshire Sam]

I am in the process of trying to refurb an old saw which unfortunately has split nut rivets ( see picture of saw ) and one of them is missing.
Does anyone know of a source where you could obtain any of them without of course robbing an other one?

Actually, robbing an old, rusty kinked saw with a broken handle of its saw nuts doesn't strike me as a bad thing.

.... not cheap but they look quality.

Workshop heaven sell them.

but I'm with bugbear, it's not a crime if the handle is broken or the blade too far gone.

Or, to put it another way, never throw out a beyond-repair old saw without removing and keeping the nuts!

I have made ones with a length of brass studding some 3mm brass plate and a tap.

under 'aftercare and sharpening' provided you want the sort with an internally threaded tube.

Once again thanks. I agree with the comments about robbing an old knack... one but unfortunately I don't have one to rob.
But again thanks
