Re: Identification Prop blade

Hi Peter, Frank,

the only numbers I found are shown on 2 pics (661 and 662) I already posted.
The length of the prop is 180 cm.
The seller told be he bought it from a farmer and the father of the farmer found it close to an German airfield in South Germany called Lechfend). But if this is the truth, who knows

Best regards
Rolf

Re: Identification Prop blade

Hi...

Not sure it would be from a German aircraft, given that it seems to have a yellow blade tip (can't quite make out for certain). I can't say the Luftwaffe never painted their propellor tips, but it would be a very rare occurance in my experience. The only ones that I can recall off-hand that did have painted propellor tips were some of the larger seaplanes.

Regards...
