I came across this plane, which is a #5C plane. It appears to be a Stanley, but the only identification marks on it are on the lever cap, and the blade itself.
I am new to the whole plane scene, but it appears to be a well (ab)used bedrock #5, based on the frog.

The front knob is missing,

and the tote was busted up pretty good, so the one currently on it is a replacement. There is a forward adjuster screw, and the adjuster knob is the smaller variety.

The blade

Here is a picture of all the pieces, where the damage to the sides of the front is apparent.

The sole - the mouth is actually square and even despite what this picture shows

The plane cleaned up pretty nicely, and actually cut some nice shavings (no pics).
So, what do I have?
Thanks
