could be from a late war Fw190, certainly has the shape for it

Thanks, just looked these up and yes the shape is the same, do you think the ID numbers would confirm the exact model it is fitted too?

It's possible but also likely that such a blade might have been used by a few different aircraft. Some here can tell you based on the 9- number and hopefully they will chime in.

Vdm prop used on fw190 a8 and a9 with the 801d engine. Fw 190 VDM propeller blade types [Archive] - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum
thanks for that, looks like my guess may have been correct

Thanks you two for your help,
Hi, it looks like I have the same blade (rather Fw190) at home but I would identify the ID text on the blade as follows:
Satzweise Austauschbar
9-12153 B
Satz Nr. 3-buf 42639
Who can confirm that, and if so what is the difference between 9-12153A and 9-12153B blade type? the Width?

Hi Tom thanks for posting as I now can confirm that ours is also a B and not 13 as I originally thought, overall the condition of your blade is fantastic just a pity about the tip. Thanks again.
Hi Richard,
Unfortunately, you have gone a little wrong here. The Blades are correctly stamped 9-12153.13 on their base. They are listed for the Fw190A-B with BMW 801C/D engine. The 9-12153.13 blades are specifically for use with additional balance weights that fasten on near the blade roots and reduce the load on the pitch change mechanism. When built as a complete propeller unit or "GERAT" this would be the 9-12153B assembly, as stencilled on Tom's blade, although that stencilled number refers to the complete assembly.
Also, similar blades that are not made for the weights are listed as the 9-12153.10 and they are used in a complete assembly that is the 9-12153A.
These two types of propeller Gerat (A or B) can be used on the same listed Fw190A-B with BMW 801C/D engine, according to the VDM data.
Cheers
