Very very clean. All original and in excellent clean condition. Very few big transitionals are this clean. The wood is gorgeous and not 'enhanced'. The mouth is tight. 75% japanning. The top 1/3 of the iron has some pitting as though the plane sat upside down in a moist toolbox for decades. Iron is fine on the lower 2/3... Tote tip sheared and was glued tightly back on at some point also. A beauty as a collector or user tool!
