I tried to buy this a few years ago when the museum had listed it. I had to let it go because shipping it to Canada was a hassle.

I dunno, but it aint' a fixed pitch blade from a Spitfire MK I!

THIS RARE ITEM WAS ORIGINALLY OBTAINED FROM A MUSEUM IN SCOTLAND. IT IS A FIXED PITCH WOODEN PROPELLER BLADE FROM A MK 1 SPITFIRE. THE ITEM IS IN TOTALLY ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH ORIGINAL MARKINGS ON THE OUTER CASING.THERE IS SOME DAMAGE AROUND THE BASE OF THE BLADE AS WELL AS DETERIORATION OF THE INNER WOOD IN THE SAME AREA.NONE OF THIS HOWEVER DETRACTS FROM THE AUTHENTICITY AND AURA OF THIS ITEM.HERE IS PIECE OF ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS AIRCRAFT IN HISTORY,AND A MUST FOR THE COLLECTOR OF SPITFIRE AND GENERAL AVIATION MILITARIA.
It's a Rotol blade, and looks to me like it might be from a Hurricane, but I'm sure someone more in the know than I can identify it for you.
