    Need Help IDing Numbers on WWII M1 Liner and Bug Net

    Picked these up last weekend. Liner and bug net have matching "H-28" on them. Anyone know the significance of this? Also I am not familiar with this particular "bug net" i realized it was worn over the helmet to protect the face and neck but that is all I know. Any ideas when, where and for what anticipated purpose this was used? Thanks!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    We had bug nets issued standard equipment. Virtually the same item except the cloth was nylon. Turned mine in about 7 years ago...used it regularly.

    H-28 looks alot like a roster number. Maybe from Airborne school. Just a guess. What kind of chinstrap does the helmet have?
