Seeking information on C-46 propeller blade stencils.

Sun Jul 09, 2017 11:00 pm

Hello, I am looking for a photograph or an accurate quote of the information that is stenciled on a Hamilton Standard propeller blade on a C-46 Commando. I found a photo of a prop on “Tinker Belle” that clearly shows that its blades are only marked with a DWG and serial number. I believe that stencil on the “China Doll” propeller blades also includes information such as the “Low angle” and “High angle” specs. But I cannot find a photo clear enough to verify what the actual stencil says.
I am planning to repaint a propeller blade of this type and I would like it to be as historically accurate as possible.
Thank you for any information that you can provide, goaly.
