USMC WW2 Frogskin Helmet Cover w/ Mosquito Net
These helmet covers were introduced to the Marine Corps in 1943 in order to provide relief from mosquitos during heavy jungle fighting while still providing camouflage to the user. These covers are New Old Stock (NOS) and are as fresh as the day they were produced in the 1940s. That said, do treat them with care as they are 80 years old and the netting has been known to tear when handled roughly.
These helmet covers were produced in such numbers that they also saw service with the Marines in Korea and Vietnam. This also means the price is still very affordable for these covers and that you don’t need to feel guilty by putting it on your own helmet and using it in the field!
The “A Variant” was the earlier type that feature an interrupted khaki band, while the “B Variant” has a continuous green band.
