Canadian camouflage nets as seen on Mk II"s

[Mark K]

Thought it might show all of my early and late war Canadian Camouflage nets in one post..

1# This example is a late war knotted two tone and is nicely scrimmed with brown and green oilcloth..


2# late war knotted two tone with sparse tan and green oil cloth scrim..


3# late war knotted two tone with green and tan hessian scrim..


4# Early Canadian woven olive green net..


4# First variation of the Canadian two tone camo net with the thick merrowed outer edge..


5# Late war Canadian two tone knotted with sparse green oilcloth scrim..


6# Early 1st variation Canadian two tone woven net with the deep merrowed edge nicely scrimmed in brown and green oilcloth and hessian..
The oil from the cloth has transferred to the net and has stained the hessian strips..


7# Late war knotted Canadian two tone camo net the oil cloth in three different shades, dark brown, light brown and green and shown heavy usage and wear ..

Lovely !

Good to see them all of them in one post . Many thanks.

The strips of oil cloth seems to be a Canadian thing. Did the strips come ready made , or did you have to cut them yourself ? I have often wondered.

Steve the strips as far as I can remember came on a role pre-cut to width and if memory serves me correct there were 5 different colors.
Black being one of them but it is rarely seen..

Thanks, Mark.

Can you show the difference between early and late merrowed edges ?

[Mark K]

Hi Steve will post up a couple of examples tonight after work of the earlier woven with merrowed edge and the later woven examples.

Steve I only have a couple images on file of the one net I was referring to and nothing that shows the edge detail very close and can not take more pictures as it now resides in a collection in Holland as you can see by the size of the net it would have been more suited to fit a Mk III and or M-1 than the Mk II one of the largest woven Canadian nets I had ever seen..


And Canadian two tone with Merrowed edge..
