    Hello,
    The original lenght should be 300cm.
    There are no holes drilled so probably never used???
    There are marks that there was metal sheeting around the edges of the top
    It's also a pusher prop.
    Probably made for a seaplane or bomber that explains the metal sheeting.

        Greetings SM1,

        Please look at and around the hub and see if you can find the following stamped into the wood:

        Zug or Edulzug
        Druck or Eduldruck (also spelt druk)

        Gepruft or Kiel

        This will establish if the prop came from an army aircraft or from a naval aircraft.

        Also, is there a number stamped on either of the flat faces of the hub?

        With kind regards,

        Bob

              Prop

              Hello,
              On the first photos it was impossible to see the bolt holes.
              So my opinion was wrong.
              It was really used.
              It's a used prop who has been shortened.
              This was probably done afterwards because of damage to the tips and only for display purposes.
