I bought a Sargent 408 off of eBay for $31. The pics weren’t great and I couldn’t get a great look at the iron/cap iron. Turns out the iron sent with it was a “Modern” made in Sweden. It does not actually fit the lateral adjuster. It would fit a Stanley I think, but the Sargent needs a slot in the blade of 1/2” it seems. I was thinking of just getting a replacement iron/cap iron. Maybe a Hock, but I think I will have to enlarge the slot for the lateral adjuster as they are sized for Stanley’s. I assume this is not difficult and will just take a bit of careful filing.
Anyone done this for Sargent planes?
