..erm, apart for the fact that is not painted black as usual (which in theory could mean the original colour could have been sanded off), it's a bit tiny weeny for a Spit propeller (the 2 bladed Watts was around 10ft), it's not a fixed pitch propeller and there's a bogus spinner on it, it's a bargain!!
 lol

+1... Looks way too small for a Spit imo.

I agree something doesn't look right......I expect the varification doc to be hand writen in crayon.
seller is a bit too weary of 'know it alls' and 'anoraks' as stated in his listing, he doth protest too much me thinks.

I still don't believe it. Look at how big a real Mk.I Spit prop looks in comparison to that one. Big difference in my eyes. Also the shape seems to be a bit different?

the only two-bladed props on Spits were fixed pitch AFAIK, and surely not that tiny in diameter!
Frankly the "certificate" she mentions is just a piece of typewritten paper, and could well be a fake. I'm not doubting she might be in good faith, but maybe she's been ripped off herself.. following the auction, let's see where this goes..

The letter states "display props" its unlikely it was really used on a Spit MkI
In fact the letter does nothing to verify their integrity as genuine but makes it look less likely to be so. The seller is in a state of denial "idiots only allowed to buy this item"  . Last edited by KG26_Alpha; 01-06-2012 at 02:37 PM.

 I have a Sensenich Prop for the Globe Swift/Stinson in my man cave, which is a little bit shy of 6ft, and it's pretty much the same size of that one lol

just for the sake of science, you can scroll down here and see what a Watts propeller looks like (and how long it is)
http://www.spitfirespares.com/spitfi...ropellors.html I thought they could be wooden propeller blades from a 4 blades prop, but the real ones are 145cm long, even if more similar in shape. http://www.tennants.co.uk/Catalogue/Lots/121794.aspx they're probably props for some other British aircraft, but God knows what and surely not worth 2 grand!
