Does somebody know the exact type of the B-26 Cutiss Electric propeller and if that propeller has been used on civilian airliners ?

That info would help a french amateur artist mother of two who baught in the US a raty B-26 prop. and is not entangled with the French Custom which states that the prop, being "war/weapon equipment" needs a special import permit… they threaten to destroy the prop if she can not show this permit of proove it is not necessarily a "military equipment"…

Best of luck! Can't believe they'd be so ignorant of the nature of this clapped out propeller.... just too bad!
