Opinions on Interesting Shrimp Net

[Nickman983]

Just got this one in the mail, picked it up because I thought it was interesting but I'm not exactly sure what it is. The holes in the net appear to be woven into it rather than cut. The paint looks like it was sprayed on, I think via a spray gun rather than a rattle can. The piece I got from the seller is huge (looks like I could almost get two helmets worth of netting if I cut it right), so I think it was likely cut down from a large piece of netting. It kind of reminds me of my shrimp net cut from Canadian vehicle netting, but overall it seems to be thicker than my Canadian net.

 

Anyone have ideas on this one? If it's WWII era and something american troops may have come in contact with I'm thinking of throwing it on one of my lesser helmets for fun.

Best attempt at getting it on a helmet. As it stands now it's way too big to fit and needs to be cut down but I don't have the time to do that just yet

the "front" side. This is the side the paint was applied to

the "back" side. You can see in this one that the holes aren't cut but woven in.

Any thoughts on this one? I ended up cutting it down some this weekend and got it to fit better on one of my helmets

This is cut from a postwar Swiss vehicle net. The giveaway is the large twin hole and a very thick weave.
