Description:

This controllable pitch propeller features a metal hub with wooden blades in a composite shell. The whole of the assembly has been painted flat black with the blade tips having been painted yellow. The propeller measures 96 1/2 inches. While the exterior is devoid of markings, it is likely this propeller would have come from a North American Aviation T-6 Texan. Measures 95 inches. The Texan was most famously used during World War II as a training aircraft for the United States, Britain, and Canada. Following World War II, the T-6 was bought by countries around the world and pressed into service filling fighter and fighter bomber roles.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 97% black and yellow paint with a few chips on the edge of the blades and wear at the tips. This would make a perfect addition to any United States military aviation collection!
