Been cleaning up a few saws. Got a pair of No.7 ( 1896-1917) cleaned up, without any "issues"

Twins? 8ppi, 26" long.
Working on these saws next

Rogue's Gallery? Anyway, got the D8 ( seems to be about the same age as the No.7s) are spiffified up

8ppi, skew back. 26" long. Handle has a bit of damage along the bottom edge. Very,very faint etch. The handle?

That very thin area at the bottom.
Now about the rest of this motley bunch.
There was a Disston & Sons medallion on one of the saws...but, there was a strange looking one on another. 13/16" diameter. (top to bottom) SHEFFIELD Patented a Shield with the letter "A" on it, then WARRANTED under that. Bolts are smaller than the Disston ones at the heads. The handle was a three hole one, BUT, it was on a full length (26") plate. I also had the "Disston" handle with four holes, but it was on a Panel saw's plate...with four holes.

The third handle was one of the "Birthday Saws" I am trying to clean up..The panel saw plate?

Four holes. Teeth count is 7ppi. Three of the holes match the three hole handle just about perfectly. Leaving an odd-ball hole covered up. Three hole handle also matches the strange medallion in the size of the hole for the medallion to sit in. The four hole handle, though, was on this panel saw....Transplant??? have some issues to fix on two of the handles....cracks need a spot of glue, and a clamp for a day. Gives me time to clean three plates, and find out what that little medallion was from.
Any clues on the medallion from "Sheffield"?
