Excellent condition block plane. Retains all of its jappaning and nickel plate on the knuckle cap. No rust, pitting or corrosion. The only real wear to speak of are some scratches on the adjustable toe piece, and these have been smoothed with 2000 grit w/d paper. The blade has recently been honed on a hard Arkansas oilstone and is razor sharp. Please ask questions, I will respond promptly. Thanks for looking!
