    Yes it is and the thread/string looks a bit thick too. One thing about nets on these though, certainly post war they tended to go in and out of vogue often being considered a snag/tangle hazard for parachuting along with the habit of using old grenade rings as a zipper pull on the smock. The net could of course be carried in a pocket and fitted on the ground

    The other thing I forgot to mention about the suspicious screw is that apart from being unpainted, it shows signs of being removed using the wrong size screwdriver and it also looks to have a phosphate finish which suggests a modern item.
