I checked the saw rack (didn't bother to with The Pile Of Dreck) and
of the 5 Disston Toronto saws all of them were marked with their pitch.
My D8 made in Toronto is stamped "5 1/2".  Yours may have been
sharpened down past the stamp.  Look closely at the teeth near the
heel, do any of them have a partial number stamped on them?  My
Simonds cross cut has what may be part of a "9" on one tooth.
