Greetings and welcome to this forum.

Your prop is British from just after WW1, very probably from the Sopwith Salamander, which was a ground attack version of the Sopwith Camel.

The data on the prop translates as;

LP 5300 RII. A Lang Propeller, drg no 5300. (RII is actually RH, for Rt hand rotation)
BR 2 The Bentley BR2 rotary engine of 200hp
D2730 diameter in mm
P2920 pitch in mm.

G 1430 N4 indicates the prop is no 4 of batch 1430. This was a British Government number. It dates from around November 1919, if these batch numbers were issued in turn chronologically. I suspect that some weren't.

With kind regards,

Bob
