German prop' ?

In the late sixties, my father bought a prop' and I have no clue from which kind of airplane it does comes from. can you help me ?

It's 1.55 m high





On the left part of the basement, I can read :

E0... (cut)
J...
WER...
G



And on the right part, there is :

(cut)...3719
...T192
...YBACH
G



On one side of the propeller, it's written :

PI 38
K22
Nr 3719
3

and on the other side

496

Does anyone have an idea ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi Yavor,

Actually, I have just found that the Swiss Air Force had bought 20 aircraft Zepp LZ CII in 1920.
These airplanes were built by Zepplin in 1918 and were motorised with a Maybach Mb IVa



The prop' was of "Smolik" type (?) with a diameter of 3.10 m.

Could it match ?

And do you have any idea of the meaning of the markings I found on the prop ?

Thanks in advance
