Sadly, no. That's the only thing out of the haul I couldn't identify.

I also got the lower assembly from a Magna-branded jigsaw, but somewhere along the line the owner had lost the tube arm with all its appurtenances, so it's useless at this point.
It will function as a 'sabre' saw.

Well, things are just coming up roses for me lately! I got a call from the guy I bought the SS from... and he found the upper part of the jigsaw. I just ran up to his shop and picked it up! Probably a few small hardware pieces still to be acquired, but all the major parts are in place now.
