Rare Modified Batwing Style Nose Guard / Penna Guard Style / 1906

 

One of the rarest styles of nose masks. This modified batwing style guard (almost identical to Penna Guard nose masks) was manufactured near the tail end of nose guard usage, which may account for its significant rarity. It was inscribed by its owner, 1906.

Original strap intact, guard overall length 5 5/8”.
