Default Labbed Props

How do you tell if a "Mercury" labbed prop is actually a "Mercury" labbed prop. Do they mark it in any special way??

Thanks

RD, They are Labbed originally at Merc but the serial numbers dictate 2 different recipes.

TM, call me and we can discuss it

I'm currently in Iraq.... :-(
But, isn't there an "easy" way to tell if a prop was labbed by Mercury or not??

there should be some type of code stamped onto the barrel (where the prop nut goes) from what i've seen that indicates what type of labbed job ect. was done to the prop

If there are any hand stampings on the inner hub, get them and I'll decode it for you.

Matched props built at Merc Racing on the same date. Done by 2 different men to the same specification.

That was the original recipe, what they are now..........

who knows.
