Original "Late War" Helmet Net (small hole)(updated 11-23-25)

This listing is for the net only.  Helmet and stand are not included.

These nets are ORIGINAL "late war" era helmet nets used extensively from mid 1944 through the end of the War.  This is a new batch of nets that are different than our previous batches of originals.  The main differences are the strings are slightly thicker and the holes range from 1/4"-3/8".  Given that the strings on these nets we highly suggest trimming out the excess netting and restringing the net so that there is less material sitting between the liner and the inside of the steel shell.  This allows for a cleaner look (see attached pictures)

These nets are the "small hole" variant used by the 82nd Airborne and Rangers in Normandy, then later adopted by the 101st and most all other units around the time of Market Garden and was used until the end of the war.  

Beings the holes on these nets are only 1/4"-3/" wide (approximately) you will need to cut 1 or 2 strings to make a hole large enough for the chinstrap to slip through.  It is also suggested to trim the extra net once it is fitted to the helmet to allow the liner to fit better inside the helmet shell.
