Hi there,
I was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on this propeller.
I recently came across it in a collection of a few propellers (Airspeed Oxford, Tiger Moth and a Vincent cut down to the boss). The odd thing is the location, New Zealand, so limited aircraft this could have come from (unless imported as a curiosity).
I understand it is a Lang prop and the DRG No is Sopwith Pup or possibly 1 1/2 strutter, however, there were several Avro 504K in NZ around this time.
It's not in great shape but will still look great as a wall hanger.
Boss side 1
DRG No LP710c
RH 110 CLERGET
G 4028 N 26

Boss side 2
D 2740
P 2360

I know it's usually not the done thing to clean a propeller up but would like to remove the paint damage possibly. I was thinking as it isn't in great condition it may not be to much to at least clean it up a little.
Thoughts? What is best to do?
