Bravo 1 Lab finish or not?
 
Is this a Lab finish prop or a standard Bravo 1 28?
I have no box, as it is a second hand prop.

Only lab finish props I ever saw (very few)were kind of a dull finish, not high polished.

That's what's giving me second thoughts...

Look for secondary markings stamps letters and numbers inside of hub. If someone touched them they most always stamp them. And stampings and markings are not always indictive of "Labbing" this is also done for repairs and tunes.

Looks like an out of the box B1 to me. I've lab finished a number of props, they always had high gloss finish and the leading edges would be way sharper than the leading edges on the prop shown.

OK, thanks!
You mean they had high gloss finish before the labbing? (From what I've heard the lab finish props are always a bit more of a "satin finish" surface than regular propellers. )

ScarabViking,

This.

If it's stock, let me know when/if you wanna sell it. :cool:
Really.

Thanks. Brad.

Thanks, but I don't think you want to buy this propeller: I'm in Europe... (The shipping cost would be more than the sales price.)
