Re: Cowl opinions?
Hi Dan...welcome!
Don't know of the seller, but 21" is like a kids cowl size. Most adults are in the 22.5"-24" range. It seems awfully small IMO. Looks like a great scuplt, but sized that small is not good.
Stick around for a while and do the terms of service thing, and get into the trade section, and you'll find some good stuff being traded around. I sent you a private message to give you more details off board.

Re: Cowl opinions?
I've never seen that cowl before. I don't think its anyone around here making them. Ronjer is right about the head size though. If this person is selling them to adults, I'm sure they're getting some negative hate mail in return! :lol

Re: Cowl opinions?
It also mentions in the add it has a slit in the back for a snug fit, but there is no slit in the pics, so I don't think you will be getting the one in the pic.

Re: Cowl opinions?
Hi, in my opinion its not a great deal, first because of the side, it seems that the guy who made it, use his head size, or a small one, and probably wont fit a "normal"size, only very small ones, and look that I am a 22.5 hehe, and Ive seen a lot o bumbs on the side too, so if you could wait, and look more, I am sure you will find a better cowl, the guys here are great and they make beautiful cowls in every shape or size, stick around and you will find!

Re: Cowl opinions?
This guy is on EBay a lot, and it's been said he's a recaster. I don't know if that's true or not.

Re: Cowl opinions?
Not saying its so, just saying its coincedental, that reevz has a dead end cowl that looks very similar to that, and suffers from the same size problems. and this guy is a rumored recaster. and the description doesnt fit the picture.
Just saying.

Re: Cowl opinions?
IT's smaller because it shrunk form reevz' cowl- he is a recaster. Just look at 2 pics side-by-side. The ears look thicked because the cowl sags (too thin). You could spend the same $ on ebay if you wait for a good cowl deal!
