Here's my US made net, I was lucky that the tag was easy to locate in my junk pile

Here is reneblacky's and mine for comparison. Now I'm confused.

Looks the same to me mate. The one I post is an original WW2 US made one, here's another shot

I must add- these are a real pain in the arse to put onto the helmet!!!

G'day Andy
Are your goggles no.1021a?

Here's a net made by Dennison of Massachusetts.

The ones in the case are 1021, no A. The ones with red lenses I'm not sure about. I got them as-is.

Best Regards,

That's a nice one tinlid. I forgot about the Dennison one.

Didn't they use Brit large square cammo net for the same effect?
I have always wanted to make one of those hand knotted ones that go around the dome of the helmet and fix to each bale. (I can't find a pic of one.) It looks fiendishly complicated though.

Edit: Link here, the photo maybe copyrighted, or I'd grab it. How in heck did they do that?

They look great.
They really complete the M1 helmet.
Cheers.

i wished there had been someone who had studied all ww2 type nets and produced a book on it,its very easy to buy what is seen at first glance as ww2 but in fact turns out to be postwar and usually of non-US origin,regards dave.
