Hello Jens,

please provide some extra photos:
total view of the entire net, spreaded out,
a few detailed ones of the fabric without flash.

Regards,

Hi Marcel,

I´ll post other pics as soon as I have it in hands. Probably tomorrow or so.
But thanks so far.

hi Jens. it looks pretty good but I cant say for sure with the pics you posted. check out this thread, http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=122671

is the net made up of different twine (hemp) or all the same? trying squeezing it into a tight ball and see if it keeps the shape or springs back out. Glenn

Thanks for the link Glenn, it is most interesting for me. Nice net you got there by the way.
These are just the pics I got from the guy who offered it to me. I will post some better pics as sson as it arrived. Will also try squeezing it togther and look what happens.

Many thanks Jens

helmet net

Greetings Jen: From the photos provided the net seems to have a very high shine which to me indicates oil in the twine or newly produced . Period produced nets are usually very dull,dry and brittle.The net should also have a camo color application within the fabric itself . This should be evident when looking at the net on the helmet.There should be a variation in the colors of the net construction.Part of the net should have a natural colored twine while part of it should be a darker brown or olive green. The yellow tie cord (which has to be yellow) that is entwined, should be of a different material and a tighter woven construction which is smaller in diameter. Finally the metal hooks on the net should be made of a non-corrosive material which should not rust, but will tarnish or possibly surface discolor ,but not pit in. I hope this assists you. Best regards!

Zeke is correct with all His statements here. after looking at the pics again, I would agree that the twine is abit shiny in these pictures and the metal shouldnt really be rusted. I hope that you do have a gaurentee on it just ion case you dont like it when it arrives. post some good pics when you have it in hand. Glenn
