Hey everyone,
In a lot of the pictures I have seen of Canadian troops wearing M1 helmets (from the 50s-60s) they are using a two-tone helmet netting similar to the ones used on the Mk.II.
My question is, are these the same helmet nets as used on the MK.II's or are they a different size/cut? I tried putting my own Mk.II two-tone helmet net that I have on my U.S Vietnam M1 and it is not even close to fitting. Is it simply because i need to reaallllyyy stretch it, or, it is not the correct netting to begin with?
Any help would be must appreciated!
Cheers!
P.S, here are some reference pictures:
