I would appreciate help identifying my propeller

[Alasdair]

Damaged oak propeller. 8 ft and half an inch (96.5 inches 2.45m) in diameter. Centre bore 2.75 inches; Bolt circle 5.3 inches; Bolt size 0.3 inch; Hub diameter 6 inches; Hub thickness 4 inches.
The only imprint is the number 3277 on side and face of hub. There is some metal sheathing to each tip that seems to have been fitted as an afterthought. It may have been painted red at one time!!
Reputed to come from a Bristol aircraft but there's nothing to back this up. Any ideas would be great

Looks more like an OX5 style and size. Bristol fighter is unlikely and is probably U.S. built.

Thanks. I thought lower power than F2B. It is also quite short - a little shorter than the JN4 ones on your website. So American Oak then.

I have never come across any British WW1 prop made of oak; walnut was the first choice but mahogany predominated in the last two years of the war, 1917 and 1918. Only the USA made props entirely of oak.

With kind regards,
