Nice!

I have a few M1's and really really want to pick up an original net for one. Just can't tell real from fake! IMHO these nets just "define" a ww2 ETO for me.

that would be great Jak. Don't go out of your way but if you run across one it would be appreciated. Will PM you. As you noted all the ones I see for sale over hear appear to be repros.

Beautifully photographed showing a lot of detail and interest Jake and thanks for taking the time to show your excellent examples, the nets do indeed look very period

Hi Jake I am rather disappointed you do not have a Canadian Two tone in the Mix there as they were as well adopted and used on the US M-1 here are a couple of images below of the 13th Infantry Brigade during training as well as on board ship just before landing on Kiska Island in the Aleutians of the coast of Alaska in August of 1943 it was to be a counter offensive to push the Japanese back of the Island ( Take note of the round dagger patch that represents the expeditionary force ) the Japanese left quite secretly on the evening of July , 27 / 28 just days ahead of the expeditionary forces which arrived on the Island on August the 15 there was no resistance encountered .
Prior to the landing the Japanese forces were under constant threat of bombings by aircraft and Naval Bombardment and lost a submarine and a few warships as part of the blockade prior to there withdrawal from Kiska.
Jeez you better PM me your mailing address so I can fix that problem for you .........

Regards Mark
