Xan,

this prop, like shown on pic 3 and 4, is definitely a Reschke prop.

LF Models offer decals in 1:48 scale. Not cheap but as far as I know the only ones available:

Here is other very useful information on German props in general and Reschke in particular:

Your welcome, Xan! I am keen on seeing your Aviatik build!
Of course I'll come back -- as soon as there's a little more time for modelling which is sadly not the case at the moment...
