If you Google "Aeroclocks" that will take you to Bob's site.

He has a Wolff prop for an LVG for sale on the site under the German WW1 section.

If you e-mail him, he may send you a larger image of the logo you require.

You can contact Bob via his website.

Hope this helps?

Thanks all for your help sofar gentlemen, I will contact Aeroclocks and I'm awaiting a better photograph from Marco. The original logo is badly damaged and shows only some 60% of what it used to be. The name Wolff is untouched though. So I hope to replicate it using Illustrator and trace it. This allowes me to be sure all the text is exactly spaced as per original. I did allot of instrument faces like that and it works amazingly well.

This reproduction Fokker D.VII's builder, Richard (Dick) Enos, may be a source of help:

Hi Makhpiyaluta!

In case you´re looking for a Wolff Tropenpropeller, last week one was sold in the german Ebay. Try this ebay number: 250057841337

BTW, in september I enjoyed a guided tour at the Early Birds and had the pleasure to sit in your D VII . Fits perfectly

( I´m 1,90 m ).

Merry X-Mas to you all

Thanks for letting me know but we already have the prop, it was the decals I was after. I first wanted to make them myself but Bob Gardner offert me some that are alraedy in print so that safes allot of time.
I've installed the seat in the D VII as low as possible because most of us are abit longer then the fellows who used to fly them back then.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your visit at Lelystad, you should come back in the spring when we have a special day for the public. Thats when we run our engines like the LeRhone.
