  • An Old Propeller in Belgium

    Hello, my name is Christian and i come from Belgium. A few days ago i find this beautifull wood propeller ... Length of the propeller 3 meters, thickness 18.5 cm, diameter of the large hole 8.8 cm diameter of the small holes: 1.5 cm. I distinguish also some almost unobtrusive registrations:
    ERS, DELZUG, D305, ST 180, P8200TNZ, N°12440.

    Can you help me to identify this propeller and to tell me of which old plane does it come? Thank you

    Welcome to the forum Christian.

    Your data probably reads thus;
    ERS; I don't know
    DELZUG Edulzug indicating a tractor propeller
    D305 Durchmesser, diameter 3050mm
    ST 180 Steigung, Pitch 1800mm
    P8200TNZ PS200 Benz
    N°12440. Serial Number

    The prop looks like the work of Wilhelm Wolff in Berlin.

    He made propellers like yours for the LVG C6 aircraft in the later half of 1918. (LVG indicates Luft-Verkehrs Gesellschaft)

    With kind regards,

    Bob
