Is anybody knowing what is the SFA decal on this propeller : http://www.woodenpropeller.com/Salmson_A2A.html
The propeller is, quite sure, a Régy***. I have seen the same decal on a Ratier, with Ratier copper "inlet" (I am not sure of the word), so the maker is unquestionable.
I thank it was a french "military" decal for "Service des Fabrications de l'Aviation" (a military departement) as Ratier sold many propellers to militaries authorities, but I recently discover there was a "Société Française d'Automobiles et d'Aviation" with the same SFA initials.
So, I am trying to confirm the origine of the SFA decal with your help !
Many thanks, and sorry for my frenchie english ...

***the propeller is not painted, as writen on the page, but lacquered : there is the SELT - TONKILAQUE decal. SELT was a french society which made the lacquer coat.
