Re: Sniper Mask
Certainly looks the part - if fake, someone went to a LOT of trouble and artificial wear.
I wonder whether snipers actually wore them though?

Re: Sniper Mask
Hello,
To be perfectly honest with you, i have never handled an "original" example in more than 30 years of collecting, so it's going to be tough for me to help you out with this one....but it seems to me that the item is rather crudely made.
Could you get bigger photos showing more details ?
Apparently, the mask itself is made of two cloth, one camo, one white, sewn together (if i'm not mistaking of course) which could indicate that the piece of camo cloth may come, why not, from a cut off Zeltbahn...?
Do i see brown painted metal eyelet on the piece of cloth placed in front of the mouth ?
Thanks

Re: Sniper Mask
I wondered the same thing Dan?, the material does look like splinter pattern Zeltbahn JP and the rivets appear to be slightly rusted? as for bigger pics try saving them and using your own magnifier? i can't upload them any larger sorry, and thanks Guys, i have to go out for the evening but will get back to any replies A.S.A.P Cheers.
