Can anyone ID these German propellers?

Both props are common to Eindeckers. Garuda propellers are easy to pick out, but the identity of these two eludes me. I would very much appreciate clear pics of the respective decals, if anyone might have such a thing lying about...

German Propellers??

Josef Scott:
The one on the left appears too be a Reschke and on the right could be a Heine Propeller.

Josef- The Heine was the alternative prop for the Dr.I. Let me dig up a photo of a Heine prop on a Dr.I and you can compare the characteristics after I e-mail it to you. The props will be different, but should be similar.

Thanks all for the replies!

Dan-San,
B&R seems quite right for the first. One down.

When Fok EIII 210/16 was captured, it had a Heine prop with the manufacturer's tag still on it. No decals though. When viewed straight on the Heine and the one in the second photo appear pretty much identical. Perhaps Heine initially used decals but then discontinued?

Marty Digmeyer associated Integral and Germania propellers with the early Fokkers as well, but I have not been able to positively identify either.

Taz,
I've cleaned out my inbox!

Sreiko,
I'll post better shots of the decals, but none of them are clear.

Heine Proellers.

Josef Scott:
Heine Propellers did not use decals for identification, the propeeller were metal die stamps with an impression in the propeller blade.

It does look quite a bit like a Germania prop picture I have in my files. The ring around the logo is a bit different.

Dan-San,
Thanks for the clarification.

Machinbird,
Wow!
They are far too similar not to be from the same manufacturer. Obviously the decal went through some development as time went by. As seen in this pre-war pic of AT, early versions have no Eisernes Kreuz. Now I have something to work with. "GERMANIA LUFTSCHRAUBE". Looks like more text in red underneath the image of a...warrior maiden? Perched eagle?

Thanks many times over!

Now to find the B&R decal!
