Anyone know how to read ww1 propeller markings? Any subject matter experts here?

How to read them?  Or are you looking for a guide to the markings of the different manufacturers?

Im trying to work out what planes they might have been fitted to. There’s this one on eBay right now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-WW1-Era-Propeller-/174944957435?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

 

Markings are:

DG 76

DG 2 45

P1 76 H

HP 80 RN

R HP

Im guessing this might have been for an 80hp RNAS trainer like the Farman?

This is 8ft so fits the profile of Hagar’s link.

There’s also this Ebora prop - again I’m interested to have a punt on what it was fitted to https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REDUCED-Antique-WW1-World-War-One-Ebora-Wooden-Propeller-/224706509732?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

DG is probably the diameter.

P176 is probably the pitch

Propeller is for an 80 hp Rhone

Thanks! I thought the first one is probably from a MF Shorthorn or Longhorn trainer. Did you have any idea on the second one linked at the bottom (Ebora prop)?

No, sorry.
