Afternoon chaps…

Does anybody here have any close-up photos of a propeller fitted to any of the surviving Bucker Bu181’s which include any manufacturers marks/decals? My reason for asking is that we are trying to identify a decal photographed on the propeller fitted on the Bu182 Kornett, a small scan can be viewed below:

Why am I asking about the Bu181… well, I have a theory that the propeller could have been manufactured by Hirth who provided the 105hp HM504 engine used on the Bu181. I know from my library that the Bu182 was fitted with a 80hp Bucker BuM700 so am guessing that the Hirth propeller was used on both types… so any help or pointers appreciated 🙂
