Old prop marked DES

[bob greenwood]

Can someone assist me with ID ing an old prop that I've had since 1956? Its marked, DES. H56 L.X.R.H. NO.12324 on the hub it has 465 - 5 over 8 circled bolt holes. Its tappered hub 10" in front and 15" in back and is 4 and 1/2 inches thick. The prop itself is over 82" long(the tips are broken from the last landing) and it has a thin metal protection on the leading edges starting 11" from the hub to the tip. Bob G. 586-932-6261

Can you post a picture? I don't recognize the drawing number, but I'll check through some references at home.

Here are some pictures.





It's going to be hard to identify it in the absence of a full drawing number.
