Netted M1'S
I thought I'd show a couple of M1's that I have applied nets to. I think its a great way to enhance an M1, and nets are not expensive. The liners in these are Firestone, Seaman and a nice early Westinghouse respectively. With the Westie, I put in the rayon sweatband, but it came with the "double wire" one pictured. The Polaroid goggles help set off the display of any plain Jane too, and are not overly expensive. Yet!

Nice !
I need to get the net for my m1 shell.
Re: Netted M1'S
very nice Ive always liked the look of a netted M-1
the one with the attached foliage band post war dutch ?
Re: Netted M1'S
Quite possibly Nick. I don't think it is wartime anyway because the band is too stretchy, and the weave is too tight. I didn't know the Dutch made them though.by NickD

Re: Netted M1'S
have a look here The U.S. Type 1 and similar helmet nets
Re: Netted M1'S
Thanks Nick.
I've had a closer look at the one I have, and it seems the weave is different on the other side.

Re: Netted M1'S

Re: Netted M1'S
silky smooth andy very nice,the dutch net looks simular to the M44 net with tight weave and foilage band attached,luv the goggles too mate,awesome display in all,regards as usual dave.
Re: Netted M1'S
I'll dig out my US made net and band later on,and I'll also try to find the instruction tag that comes with it.
Re: Netted M1'S
nick these look indentical to the so-called ones on ebay,so could be a case of misleading again regarding ww2 militaria,regards dave.
