    That drawing (Serie) number doesn't appear on my list of French props from WW1 era, and the 6 hole hub suggests a more modern engine.

    I think the stampings indicate "90 HP Continental" engine, which would be closer to WW2.

        Hi Bob,

        It is a French Régy propeller serial 1971 D. Piel CP 301 A, C1, C2 and C3 a/c fitted with a Continental 90 HP engine were fitted with such a prop serial 1971 D.

        On the 464121365_o.jpg picture, VB stamp is the one of Veritas Bureau, the three small triangular stamps are there because the prop has been rejected when controlled and 10 58 is a date (1958 october). If you look at those triangular stamps, you may perhaps see an R (for refused) letter in them.

          Many thanks to PM,also. An interesting design with some similarities to the early propellers.

          Best Regards,
          Bob.
