I picked this up recently from an antique shop.
Think it is a router plane as the blade is only about half the width of the body. A screw comes in from the front to hold the blade firmly in place once set.
No makers markings to be found.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Josh
What is the metal part at the front, on the handle area?

Thanks for your replys Barry and Dave.
After looking into the hinge mortising plane I would agree with you guys.
Colin, the metal part on the front is a long screw.
The screw is threaded through the metal circle.
The screw when tightened holds the cutting blade firmly in place against its bed.
Thanks,
Josh
