Yup, that one's mine and that's the scan I did for you Pedder back when I had it apart.
And, lucky me, I ended up with the Flint dovetail saw that Dave posted in the other thread when it eventually went up for sale. Yet to be restored (it will be soon), that one's going to be a really nice saw.

Due to ignorance what makes this saw special?

The deep positioned grip part of the handle with very low hang angle makes this saw kind of special - aside of the beautifully shaped handle.
It was designed rather similarly to a a 1840 #8 Disston (pics from Disstonian Institute). The site tells that this particular saw was made by H. Disston himself.

Just wondering if the sweep of the handle up wards would work better since this would allow the saw to be used easier in the flat position?
