Is this plane for real?

That is about as authentic as a my bronze Stanley router plane (at rear). At least mine looks correct!

I have heard speak of these planes.

They can be used bevel up or down (As, at a risk, can any plane I suppose) but this one has an adjustable mouth which is common on the modern block-planes.

Looks to be a normal angle of frog though, so maybe it's a one-off after all. Just mumbling folks!!!

And if anyone sees a hand-made wooden-infill plane with the name 'Kingshott' stamped on it, it will be a knock-off.

Frank, I seem to recognise the pieces in your avatar. Didn't I see some on an antiques valuation show.
They were valued at a fortune!
Honest.

Could be John. They are 19th century log holders:

I came across them while staying at a friend's house in France:

Hehe, she has many historical items in her home. They caught my attention because they are so typically French (very similar to bronze figures on a lot of 17th and 18th-century French furniture (A.C. Boule)).
