Hi,
This prop was mounted in my fathers workshop. Looks like new. But I know nothing about. Maybe somebody can give me some info about it.

Prop info:
D.6.-33. P. 4-42
LL 3207
MAY.42.

DRG 5220-2
GYPSY MAJOR 1C

Thanks

Can you post a close-up of the decal?

"LL" might represent Laidlaw Lumber, but it doesn't look like their decal.

Have you removed the hub bolts? It looks as if that's an added wooden plate on the front, which may indicate an alteration to the hub that's now covered up.

If you go to this page and scroll down to the D.H listings you'll see a lot of different aircraft that used a 5220 model propeller. Most of them were variations of the Moth airplane, but it was also used on a few others.
