Unknown wooden propeller

[Ottoman]

I bought this propeller some weeks ago, but I can't find anything about it.

It's lenght is 96,5 " and the nummers 27 and 7 are embossed on the backside and some unreadble markings on the top.
Can anyone help me with this propeller identification?

Regards Otto

You can't tell by appearance alone - too many propellers look almost identical in shape, etc. If I had to guess I'd say a likely possibility is that it was for a Nieuport XVII BIS, based on what these number MIGHT reflect:

There may be more descriptive numbers on the hub face under the clock, although that wasn't common for French manufactured props. I suspect 27 and 7 are just production numbers
