Depends what your skills are at brazing or welding. I have a #7 that had a crack that bad that a welder friend did up with a nickel rod. After a lot of grinding and lapping, it’s hard to see. But that cheek weld tends to Pringle the sole, so you will have to do a lot of lapping.
Brazing is easier, but isn’t as strong or pretty, though I see lots of the #’s 10-10 1/2 with that repair all the time.
Three patent dates and large adjuster makes it atype 12 – WWI era. Type 6 was the plane I used most for door hanging. Mine is late sweetheart.
