Re: Higgins Mold Info
I agree that Harrison's masks incorporate the wearer's personel features into the mask, the closest Higgin's to this would be Giacomin's mask, but he also places his cutouts to fit into a paint scheme and to be symetrical(mirror one side to the other and perfectly straight) where alot if not most of Higgin's work was free hand or by eye. Ernie didn't feel compeled to "fix" or adjust the mold to end up with a symetrical finished product. Painting a mask was an after thought back then and the cut outs were there for ventalation first and signature second.

Re: Higgins Mold Info
Yes Harrison's cutouts and paintjob very symetrical.
The surface of the Mask, not so much.
