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

Re: Propeller blades for identification. I need help.
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.

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 SM |

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

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

Re: Propeller blades for identification. I need help.
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. Last edited by schwarze-man; 13th September 2019 at 10:58. |
