Meanwhile as during the late victorian period men tended to be increasingly clean shaven, the masks were cut tighter to increase the gimp experience. Therefore a ball gag made for an early victorian gimp mask would not be compatible with a late victorian gimp mask. Apparently however you can do a conversion job, but this would involve defacing an antique piece which woud be rather a shame really.
