It seems that it all has to do with data about the propellor.
B&V is, as already mentioned, the name of the company who produced the propellor: Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, Germany
D. 1290: maybe the diameter?
Steig. 1080 could mean the propellor pitch (I used a dictionary to translate that word from german)
Projiz.Fläche 0,392m2 stands for the covered area if you flatten the blades of the propellor and measure their size in square meters (here: 0.392)
Bronze seems to be the material the propellor was made of.
"B.B.Schiffsschr." could stand for Screw (=propellor) port side (in German B.B. stands for Backbord = port = left side).
I don't know what "4.C" stands for.
"D.1260" - if the propellor for whatever reason was downsized then this maybe was the original diameter?
I will ask for that in our german forum.
"U.C.39" = name of the ship
"VFRKLFINERT 15.12.16": This is a little bit strange for me. VFRKLFINERT seems to represent the german word "VERKLEINERT" which means reduced in size, made smaller and the date says when this was done.
But I can't tell you why the propellor was downsized...
