If it is steel, it may be from a T-28A (with the end cut off).

Looks like this is a similar blade, we have no idea from what it's from.

Looks similar to the blade on a YAT-28E.

Wasn't that a cut-down Skyraider prop?

I read that too. It sure looks wide to be a Skyraider prop blade. Are Aeroproducts blades marked on the shanks like a HS, showing the blade design?

Here are some dimensions. In my opinion, too big for T-28.
