P51 Mustang Crash Prop Blade

Hi all. Acquired this recently from a friend and thought I would show it as there don’t appear to be many props shown on the forum. He purchased it from the farm where it was dug up as a German propeller as it was found in the same hole as a DO17. Upon further inspection however it has the number 89301-6 which is the number of the prop used on Allison engine Mustangs. How it ended up in the same hole as the Dornier is a mystery. Best guess it that the chaps who came to cart wreckage away already had this prop blade on board from another crash and dumped it in the hole. Either way a very cool and evocative piece that I am proud to own.
