Thanks a lot for the ideas, I hadn't thought of German records.. Hmm.. Unfortunately I don't have much info about when it was recovered..
The story goes that the seller's father-in-law was a teenager during the war, him and his friends would try to aid downed allied pilots before the Germans...
Thanks for the info! I had assumed it was from an early P-51 however I did find a test where they were testing that prop on a p-40..
I was really hoping to be able to trace it to a specific plane. The story is that it was recovered in the Netherlands from a plane crash that the Germans removed...
Thanks for the info, that's about all I can find about it.. Hoping to trace the serial # to a specific plane but not sure where to look.. Any insight is appreciated.
Can anyone advise what plane this would be off of? Here's the numbers:
DWG NO. 89301-6 CHG-E
SER. NO. 39382
SER. NO. AC
HEAT TREAT NO-2712
FORG NO. 26281
There are also a couple proof stamps:
"C 120" inside a circle (C 120)
"C 46" inside a circle (C 46)
