Garbage, it hasn't got that thingy for taking stones out of horses hooves.
 
The other functions make sense to me, but who thought that it should double as a rebate plane ? I'm always perplexed as to how I usually end up dripping blood when using my Veritas shoulder plane, without any idea of how I did it. Can you imagine marking a job out with that ?
 
Is it just me or is there a bit missing from the pivot, there is a square with a threaded hole in the middle, in the second picture.
Looks like a countersunk washer is missing.

It does seem like there should be a threaded button there to hold it all together.

Anyway, what do you expect for 1600 American pesos?
 
It does look like there's a missing part.

The price of the OP's link seems to be just something picked at random, and it's not "flawless" either, the blade has a quite a bit of tarnishing ie fine pitting.
 
I see a flaw in the design: For the plane you would need to keep retracting and then resetting the blade. Otherwise the straight edge turns into a straight edge with a couple of thou high spot.

The rebate plane part is nonsense - you mark out in blood, just nick your finger and off you go. No more searching for that pesky pencil!
