Guessing it is a 113 Compass plane, if so, yes it had a handle at one point, but I have seen several the handle was broken off.

Thanks, I felt that something was wrong with it. I bidding on it on a local auction site. I guess it will be difficult to find a spare handle, when the tend to brake.

Lasse, i think i recognize this image from Tradera, hence i suppose you're a swede. I live in Stockholm and I actually have a good stanley 113 copy to spare, its a german make i cant remember the name of. I could sell it/trade it if you would be interested? Message me if you would like pictures, price and so on 😊

The problem with finding a handle for those is if the frog is snapped where the handle attaches, a new handle will do not good.
Here are a couple of posts of mine on the #113:

If that doesn't take you to the post on the #113, it is the #8 post in the thread.
Here is one on cleaning and tuning up a #113:

If you're in the market for a compass plane then you might want to look at the #20 (http://www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan3.htm#num20) instead. I have a c. 1900 #20 and enjoy using it, and I think that the curvature adjustment mechanism is much more sensible than the 113's.
Ironically the #20 is tote-less.

Thanks I will ask the seller for more pictures. Another thing, it looks like one of the hinges is bend, or is it supposed to look like that ?

Looking at it closer the front hinge does appear to be bent. The lateral adjuster also looks different than the typical Stanley lateral adjuster.
