Is the blade material aluminum, hollow steel, or a composite material?
To get the direction of rotation, can you indicate on the blade either if the flat face side or cambered side facing you in the image, and which is the thin edge of the blade?
The complete propeller in your second and third image looks like a Hamilton Standard 2D30, or 12D40 Propeller.
 
Thanks !
for what plane ?
Without knowing some of the details asked for I could be for anything. The direction of rotation helps to narrow down possible aircraft, as most US aircraft had a right hand rotation, where the British used a lot of Left Hand rotation propellers.
If it is an aluminum, Right Hand rotation, it could be a DC-3/C-47 type of blade, based on basic shaft and your mentioned length of 165 cm.
 
My first thoughts were DC-3 / C-47. The shape isn't right for either a "paddle blade" or earlier "needle tip" Mosquito or Lancaster blade.
 
Hello,
it's for Lancaster ?
Thanks
He said NOT for Lancaster!

Note that the photos of identified Lancaster blades in your post #7 show blades with a tapered tip (UK-type), while that in your original post is a much fatter, non-tapered tip - indicating the DC-3/C-47 stated by the other posters!
 
yet the propeller painted in black and yellow was found in a wood at the crash site of a Lancaster, that's what's weird.

it looks a lot like this one
 
Its the same model ?
