Possibly a Beverly item?

I believe Kermit Weeks helped out by sending some components to aid with the restoration. I'd imagine the blades were copied from his MkII.

The prop was rebuilt by Skycraft in the UK, they are the Rotol specialists, I believe the blades were made to the original drawings by a company in the Czech Rep
