Help deciphering maintenance records on a fan blade

[George Ryan]

I'm an aviation enthusiast. I bought a fan blade in hopes of turning it into a sclupture/conversation piece for my home. However, I am trying to see if I can't figure more info out about it. I was hoping a mechanic could help me out.

I currently have a fuselage window and know the tail number that the window came from, but I would like to know more about where this blade came from.

Is there any useful information included on the etchings of a fan blade? Can someone point me in the right direction? It's currently at a shop getting all polished up. I can't post photos because I am new member.

Manually etched are:
FRS 5708
FRS6955/1
FRS5712/4
TUR11-420P0
FRS6625
FRS5713
FRS5712/3

S/N GB73946

And some other specs that just appear to be numbers.

Hello George. The FRS numbers are repair schemes the blade has been subjected to during its life - RR perhaps?
The Serial number, whilst a unique identifier, is of little use without knowing the Engines the blade has inhabited during its life

Sounds like an Rolls-Royce RB211 fanblade. You have a list of repairs and a serial number. Is there a part number such as LK12345? UL12345 or similar?If so I can tell you the type of engine it came off.

It is actually a fan blade from a RB211-524G/H engine as fitted to 747-400 or 767-300 and many powerplant departments have one on show in their reception areas! They look good polished up. How did you get hold of it?

Thank you so much! I found it on eBay, of all places. I have been looking for a 747 style blade for quite some time! It's so cool!

How much was it? We used to joke about the trade of aircraft parts on Ebay.

It was a couple hundred bucks. Too cool to pass up for someone who otherwise has no access to this stuff.

Read up on how it was made and it will seem even cooler!

Have a read of this on how it was made.

A couple of hundred bucks! They were worth in excess of $30k each when in service!
