British tank mask on eBay. Genuine ?
Permalink   


Is this item on eBay a known variant of the face mask, or is it a fake ?

The differences I notice are the vision slits. 6x full width instead of 5x varying width. (short, medium, long, medium, short)

The mail is made from links the same size as the links that join the mail to the mask, instead of being made from smaller links.

No comments?

The attached pictures show the mask on eBay, one that was sold by a UK dealer recently, one that was sold on eBay recently, and another also on eBay.

Notice how the one I'm asking about is different from the other three.

There appear to be several aspects of this item which would raise doubts, including the stitching, and the quality of manufacture. Very dubious without provenance.
