Thats a really nice plane. I’m glad its doing so well for you. Its Full of character, with a destinctive design. Hazarding a guess (and I’m not an expert), using the intricate detailing, and the effort that was put in to repairing the cap iron as a guage. I would guess that it was an expensive plane new, good enough for somone who works with wood to have had it repaired well by someone else who was good at welding.
Have you had a look at the info posted online by Virgina Toolworks? For intetest’s sake they might have something to give you a clue to when it was made.
