Another nice display of your fine post war German stalhelm as usual James!!! I might just pick up an east german Helmet net for my Turkish re-issue M56!!??

Very nice collection /display of the appropriate nets James, I agree the BGS and Bundy nets are getting scarce, where as the DDR nets are aplenty

I've been on the prowl for a WWII German Helmet Net for years...when they do come up for sale, they're ridiculously expensive and sell quickly...I like your display, thanks for showing!

I picked up a few West German tar nets with the wide metal clips for only $6.99 each , I bought them quickly because I also notice they are getting harder to find , the supply must be drying up from the collector market?
I agree it's a good time to stock up just in case you may need some at a later time

Hi James,hope you do not mind me "piggy backing" my Modell 1A1 Luftlandetruppenstahlhelm with period net onto your thread.
NB:These type's of net were interestingly also bought up by Saddam and worn on the M-80/M90 with Burlap covers too...now there's a thought I might recreate this look on one of my models
I always wondered what the purpose of those two extra round metal rings were for, I can see how you looped it through to have tension and secure the net better, my Iraqi helmet net was missing those two rings.
most Iraqi helmets Ive seen with this type of net were missing the two extra metal rings

Hi BG, thanks for looking...I actually think this design of net is inferior to the DDR net which has a nice snug fit, the metal rings do tension the net to a certain degree, but not a snug enough fit for my liking!
On the question of the Iraqi used nets is it possible there were copies of the Bundy nets in use at the time, the reason I suggest this is that like yourself I have seen a few examples minus the retaining rings, hence my theory ??
