Can anyone i/d the prop ?

I think that it has very little Supermarine provenance. It’s certainly an early prop and with the low power slim hub possibly pre first war. Most of the early Supermarine designs favoured
four blade pusher or tractor props. It’s the wrong blade shape for the PB.9 IMO.
The hub markings would solve it.

Not Spitfire, S5 or S6, looks older, sort of WWI era.
Thumbed through Putnam and nothing jumped out at me, one on page 16 comes close, P.B.9
Might not be a Supermarine blade, perhaps a competitors? something laying around?
Be nice to see it close up for makers stamps
