Burning Hazard Posted April 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2018 Just picked this one up off eBay, never seen another like this and might of passed on it if it wasn't for period photos. Cut up WWII vehicle netting turned into M1 helmet net, this is NOT an M1944 net even though it has square holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
