Actually it is a British made net( Dobsons and M Browne ). There is an Australian dealer who has a great stock of them still in mint condition

Interesting. Any chance you would like to let us know who the dealer is? I could certainly use one of two.

A few netted helmets on this photo, taken in Arromanches (Normandy), after the D-Day landings.

Well it was Bryburn Trading Company, aka "38margate" on Australian ebay, but he has recently stopped listing them after having sold dozens of them the past couple of years. Perhaps he has finally run out. He clearly has access to this sort of surplus because he is the trader currently listing the Wragg and Mushin made nets.

Well, I finally have a Mushin net: I can now state that is DOES match the net I believed was Canadian ( except in colour ). The weave pattern depends which side of the net you are looking at. So an Australian net not Canadian.

I did not know that so many of the different ones existed? thanks for posting.

Currently on Australian e-bay (Thanks to Aaron) No doubt it is a Mushin net !

Found this net NOT the helmet on FB Marketplace on Christmas Eve. It was on another mk11 helmet but it was the net that grabbed my attention. Had to drive 30 minutes to the seller at 9pm xmas eve as he only wanted £20. So.....
