Rare surgical amputation saw, made entirely of steel, typical of Soviet or Eastern European production in the mid-twentieth century.
The handle is moulded in one piece, with ergonomic finger grooves for a good grip. This robust, hygienic design was intended for use in hospitals and the military, particularly in field surgery.
The pivoting fly tensioning system or key allows the blade to be replaced quickly, a feature of post-1930 models. The key allows part of the spine to be pulled apart by pressing hard on it. This releases the tension on the blade so that it can be changed. This is a mechanical feature typical of surgical saws made in the Soviet Union or Eastern Europe, where they were industrially manufactured for military or hospital use.
Easy maintenance, quick dismantling, a crude but practical design optimised for greater efficiency and mass production. No manufacturer's markings. All this is typical of Soviet equipment.
Amputation saws of Soviet origin are uncommon to find on the European market.

Once sold by the apothecary, bezoar, also known as gallstone, was reputed to have the same anti-poison properties as the legendary unicorn's horn, hence its excessively high price, also due to its great rarity.
