British & Canadian nets & netted helmets

Hey Opex I rather like it my self a great display piece IMO very reminiscent of my Canadian WW II snipers veil/scarf which is unfortunately not quite large enough to display on one of my Mk II's was this purchased from a dealer as I would not mind adding one to my own collection for the purpose of display.
Regards Mark

Hi Mark, many thanks for looking and for your opinion, I got the net from SOF in the UK, and it was described as a authentic repro of the WW2 face veil, this is not my area of expertise, and I actually bought the net to put on a French Mle-51 , and this piece was spare ,so popped it on this helmet.
Thanks again,kind regards

Latest Canadian Helmet
Hi Guys
Thought I would show my second Canadian Helmet. It's a CL/C dated 1943 with a VMC size 7 liner dated 1942. The best thing for me is the early woven helmet net which I presume is British and has clearly been a very long time on this helmet, evidenced by the dusty impression it has left on the surface. There are some holes in the net itself and some rust stains on the surface but overall it is in salty condition, which I prefer. The chinstrap still has the canadian War Department imprint.
thanks
