Turpin

To my untrained eye I think i got a good one----fully tanned hide with all panels felt lined but does not appear to be bonded to anything leather, at least not visibly or by feel, other than the tanned hide itself. Beautiful face mask---I actually think mine was the one they took the picture of for their website and ebay auctions. Looks identical. Can't wait for the opportunity to wear it out in full dress fashion. Only chances I have had so far were on my Edinburgh trip where I gussied up for tow evening semiformal or formal events. But the wife vetoed me packing the think in our luggage becasue of her allergies, and I would also probably have been worried about passing customs with it because I know some similar animal skin/fur products are restricted in either the US or UK without appropriate permits or sometimes altogether-----like sealskin in the US. Better safe than sorry.
