Looks like you placed the iron the wrong way back in at the end. Nice freshening up, not quite a restoration, I would say. But indeed a very cute little plane.

The iron is turned correctly, everything works, thank you. 👋🏻

Interesting because at 1.20 you can see the mark on the iron facing UP as it originally sat. At 25.18 you reversed it DOWN. Now it might still work, but usually, at least in all the planes I saw - the mark sits on the UP side of the iron.
