    Those are not typical drawing numbers of any WW1 aircraft, including the Be12, which would be stamped T28008, T6926 (a) or AB 6238. Copper sheathing was not common during WW1, although it was occasionally used. Can you post a picture?

    It may have nothing to do with the crash that you describe.

        I've just seen too many bizarre and exagerated claims about various propellers (and other artifacts) to believe many of them. Some are so clearly false on face value, like the guy who claimed his Sensenich propeller (manufactured after 1932) was used in WW1 by some well known aviator.

        If you want to send me a photo, I can post it for you. It might help clear this up.
