I can't find any close ups to confirm but it was indeed made of wood on Halifax

I lean towards a Luftwaffe prop hub. Certainly not Me 109 or Fw190. But it has a Luftwaffe feel to it. Perhaps you can share where it was found?

I do not know what different marks of the Halifax used for propellers but I believe that is a Rotol prop so if some Halifax's used Rotol props you are quite likely correct.

Someone on this forum must have a Rotol manual that they could post (a quick search found none).

EDIT
A better search found this ROTOL Propeller Markings and Information

Thank's to everyone! I found this prop on the mountain near Ivrea (TO) - Italy . One Halifax during the WW crash at few chilometers from here ... probably this part was lost during the fly.

The radial engined versions used different props from the Merlin engined ones. The Merlin prop was a often a wooden bladed type. So, it is still possible. That crashed aircraft may have been a Merlin powered airframe.

Yes it's a Rotol hub consistent with a Merlin engined Halifax
