Chrisusa1 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Hi all, I picked this up years ago at an estate sale, never installed on a helmet. Can anyone confirm that its WWII vintage? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
ken88 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 WWII vintage yeah Here's a great picture of these nets 'in action'' "The battle belonged that morning to the thin wet line of khaki that dragged itself ashore on the channel coast of France." - General Omar Bradley. Link to post Share on other sites
earlymb Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I think it's called the M1944 Net, Helmet and was certainly in use in late WW2. Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo. Link to post Share on other sites
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I belive "M1944" is a collector name, with thr offical name being the rather vague "net, helmet, with band" that's on the tag. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a thousand pictures! "I read that in war bad things happen, Ain't that the ************* truth" -1st Lt Mike Scotti Link to post Share on other sites
