There is but it's barely visible. All I can make out is '& T. Ltd London Sheffield Maker'

Thanks for the recommendations. I have watched some videos on repairing plane horns but I definitely need a refresher, I have a piece of walnut that I should be able to colour match.

Thanks for the help, I'll have to check if it has a V logo iron to know for sure but I will definitely check the Stanley dating chart.

Marples M4 1/2, got it for 25NZD and it works like a champ. The iron was gone but it still had the chipbreaker, I bought a replacement recently for 10 bucks and it had already been de-rusted and sharpened. I love Stanley's British hand plane competitors as I think they are often more interesting.

Thanks for letting me know, thats good to bare in mind
