Chik - I am surprised by the number of Disston variations there seem to be for this tool ! Mine has the same Maker's Mark - but no grommet around the knurled knob on the sliding face. Mine has 2 brass wear strips on face instead of full brass face. Catalogues also show variations. A great, working tool.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
