WW1 Propeller indentification

Have a look at www.woodenpropeller.com

At first look it looks like a DH.6 prop.(if a four blader or Farman Shorthorn if a two blader) The Dia is shown as 2618mm with a pitch of 2520mm. I’m sure someone will come up with chapter and verse soon.

Its listed as of a BE2C or DH6 in WW1 British Aeroplane Propellers.

Some more pictures of my propeller could this image be the aircraft serial number?

Markings embossed on the propeller in the picture below.

I don’t think it’s the A/c serial as that number was allocated to a Henri Farman. If you know that the blades became table legs, do you have any other background info.

The propeller came from a motor bike and model shop in Tamworth which closed down in the late 70s to make way for a new road.
The previous owners wife informed me that after the first world war a number of four bladed propellers were used in table making.
It was a simple matter of adding a table top to two lopped four blade propellers.
A Mahogany table top would make a good match for the four blade legs
