One of the interesting items I saw (but did not buy) at the TOTT sale on
Sunday was this hacksaw.

It was the blade length adjustment that caught my eye. I thought it was
pretty cool, so I took a photo of it. I figured I'd just do a quick search
on Datamp.org and find out who made it. Just out of curiosity, right?

Nope. I got nuthin. This thing looks too good under all the rust to not be
a manufactured tool. Anyone else go better google-fu than me on this?

And there might be a maker's mark in there, but I'm not sure.

I don't think so. The one I saw was tubular, with one section sliding
inside the other.
I also spotted on Datamp.org

All

The marking on the one leg that Darrel showed appears to be the dreaded
DRGM, which means a German patent.  While DATAMP has some foreign patents,
it's a very small percentage.  Google patents has more, but no pix
available for most, and I have no idea how to describe that  feature.
Rotate or Twist or ?? to lock the length.  Give me your thoughts here, but
think back to the era of DRGM, 1891 - 1952 or so, and any stilted language,
translated from German to English.

My UK and EU patent searching has always been done through Espacenet.com,
with very low % of good results.

I would call that sliding/rotating movement, a "bayonet fitting".
