Clips and alu rivets are incorrect. Probably original camo fabric but seems to be post war manufacture.
I do not like rust spots either. Artificially aged IMO
May you please show us a detailed picture of the double stitching rows?

Hi,

clips and alu rivets DON'T rust.
Epic fail.

why shouldn't steel clips rust?
I like these clips 100%
anodized, good shape, I see nothing wrong...

And away from that, the cover was discovered with other (maybe rusting) equipment in an barn.

Late war inferior made components, steel replacing aluminum (the latter being a critical material for aviation needs) and/or lack of proper anodizing treatment
would make parts prone to rusting...This is a general remark...I am not a helmet cover clip expert but I know various "qualities" existed...
The later the more inferior is the case like with most equipment...deterioration of quality because of shortages...ersatz materials being used...and production short cuts.

True.

That's true.
