hello pzopzo,

maybe you could give the forum some more dimensions?
length, width and hub or bore diameter ...
possibly quite helpful?

Hello pzopzo,
A close-up of any markings on the end of the hub would be of great assistance.
Respectfully,

The large single blade with the metal root fitting looks very like a late WW2 Junkers. Certainly, there should be numbers on the metal fitting, most likely on the base. The simple cut-off prop should also have an ID and/or numbers stamped into the wood on or near the hub. Cheers

Here's the bottom of an Fw190 prop, I would think from the 'A' models.

Yes Tony. I can add some info for you. That VDM blade 9-12067.10 is the blade type and is listed as fitted to the Fw 190 A-B with the BMW 801 C/D in the VDM Ersatzteilliste.
The W.Nr 12.9528 is the W.Nr (serial number) of the complete propeller assembly and the /3 shows that this is the matched blade from the number 3 position on that complete prop. That complete propeller assembly will have had a plate showing the Gerat-Nummer 9-12 067A.
Also, I think that the 178156 number is the VDM individual blade serial number. Cheers

Green propeller blade is from Junkers W34. Broad blade has only number.

Re: Propeller blades for identification. I need help.
 

Hi! Are you certain there is no number on the bottom (underneath), on the base?

It is possible that the number 8261B is from the equipment number listings and, is missing it's prefix? Maybe it is 9-8261B ? Anyone able to look that up?

SM

Hmmm, or maybe not. I am finding that the VDM equipment numbers are in the 10,000 range and the Junkers in the 20,000 range.

It looks totally clean...

Here is picture.

Thanks for the pic! :)
I suspect that the base of the wooden blade had an alloy plate with the numbers and quality stamps. That certainly looks the way most I can find are.
Your blade is very interesting, the metal hub fitting looks mostly like the late Junkers, not like the earlier VS9 on the Ju 87 that had a certain taper to the metal root fitting. Cheers

Schwarze-man! Many thanks for Your help. What else can I do to make possible identification of this broad blade? Measure it?

Re: Propeller blades for identification. I need help.
 

Yes, the length and chord may help.
Someone might come on here with better details of the Junkers blades. I have a fair amount but, no comprehensive listing of Junkers part numbers, I am afraid.
