Holy Grail Part 7 Hockey Mask Original

I wouldn\'t see why not it would effect the price. The only way i would see it effecting the price is that it was fake or a recast off something else. That\'s just me though.

Actually, if this was a direct recast from a "Se7en", there are really only two ways to tell (that I am currently aware of):

1.) The details I mentioned would not be present unless an obsessed fan had taken time to retool a "Se7en" blank and add them by hand. In my personal opinion, it would be very hard for most fans to fake the propeller piece with such a high degree of accuracy; to my knowledge, most collectors have not caught on to it. In addition, large photos showing the hero mask\'s complete propeller damage with extreme clarity have never been made public. Nor do I know anyone who\'s gotten that detail correct on their masks to date.

2.) There would be a negligible amount of shrinkage from the original "Se7en" size, which would unfortunately be hard to prove as different molding/casting materials have varying shrinkage rates.

Basically, I\'m basing my observations on those two small details. Anything else would probably need to be examined by Mario himself for additional confirmation. In fact, I really hope you contact him or he finds this thread...I\'d love to hear his opinion on that piece!

Cheers,

That pull comes in fact from a mold taken some time ago from the original mask before I got it. I was talking to the FX person who was given the mask by Kane to make a mold.

is the inside of the screen used mask red?

is the inside of the screen used mask red?

I\'m pretty sure it\'s not. It\'s either made with black or clear plastic - probably black and unpainted, in my opinion.

Cheers,

Just got off the phone with my guy again. He told me the Hero was Black Abs, and back then they only had Abs in colors White and Black. He also said the proof was the marks on the nose is the black Abs showing thew.
