Well team, I found the culprit. It looks like this plane may have been dropped at some point as I was able to find a small hairline crack about 1/2″ below the top of the upper left hand corner of the frog. This was what caused the gap. I tapped it with a hammer to see how stable it was and it broke right off. So I found a replacement on ebay and am hoping for the best.
I really appreciate everyone’s help. When I have the plane restored, I’ll be sure to post it up.

I have not had a chance to plane with it yet as I was just starting the restoration on it but the plane blade is dead straight (new from Veritas). It may not be a huge deal, but I know that other plane manufactures go to great lengths to mate those surfaces, so I thought I would ask.
I bought both and found that the 5901 was a more positive lock then the 10-049. It could have just been the knifes that I got as I only bought one of each. It was not a huge deal, but having both, I opted to keep the 5901 and give the 10-049 away.

I really enjoy his videos. Especially the plane making one. It’s amazing to me that he’s able to build with such a small and simple amount of tools. Especially his vise. It’s good therapy for me to watch videos like this to keep my wanting to buy more and more tools in check LOL.
I can’t wait for the new bow saw video.
