Just finished a keeper for myself. This is on a Fiberglassmasks.com Part 6 mask, from Bob's new mold derived from the back of an old Nightowl Part 6, itself, pulled from a production-made Part 6 mask. As far as I can tell, this is the most accurate Part 6 blank you can get.
Just a quick comparison between Part 6 movie mold and Fear City Creations blanks. The Part 6 mask (right) is a second generation casting of the back of a Part 6 movie mask by Fiberglassmasks.com. The FCC mask (left) is a second gen casting of a blank by the late mask maker Ken Tarallo believed to have been pulled straight from the Part 7 movie buck.
The similarities are striking, so much so that they almost appear to be from the same buck. The FCC mask measures on the back 21.2 x 24.6 cm. The Part 6 measures 21 x 24.3 cm, not really a meaningful difference considering the slightly different cut of the two blanks.
There are some noticeable differences. The FCC mask has a slight flattening on the right side compared to the six; the right cheek and edges appear rounder on the six, which is also more consistent with the Part 6 movie masks. The lower left edge of the Fiberglassmasks Part 6 is also more rounded and consistent with the movie masks, and the far right curve near the right strap hole is a perfect match to the movie masks, the curve on the FCC mask beginning a bit higher.
In some ways, the FCC is actually closer to the Part 6 movie masks, including the shape of the left edge near the strap hole.
Given the remarkable similarities, and the fact that the minor differences could be the result of both copies here being second gen recasts, it is tempting to conclude that the Part 6 and Part 7 movie masks both came off the Part 6 buck. This however seems unlikely, given that the Part 6 buck is known to have split horizontally across the mouth, a fact attested to in the photo of Gabe Bartalos with a production blank below, as well as the Part 8 movie masks, themselves recast from a spare Part 6 mask.
There is no visible horizontal mark in the Part 7 masks, but there is a massive vertical split down the middle visible in the rare first-gen blanks, which was filled in before they were pulled. The greatest likelihood is that the Part 7 mask was a recast of the back of a Part 6 movie mask, rather than a pull from the same buck. The slight differences in the Part 7, including the flattening in some parts, could have been the result of a poor fit between the silicone mold and its plaster casing. While we don't know which Part 6 mask it was cast from, it was likely made from a mask pulled early, before the buck fractured.
For sale! This is a fiberglass copy of the famous Dan Bradley bust. This piece originated as a direct casting of the cowl used in Friday the 13th part 6; sometime in the 1990s FX artist Christ Swift, who worked on the film, cast the film cowl and sculpted a face as an insert; copies were recast with the face, creating the version you see here. Billy Kirkus cast his personal copy and made fiberglass replicas a few years ago and this is one of those copies.

For sale! This has been my personal keeper part 6 for quite a few years. Painted on a blank by Fiberglassmasks that was made from a production mask made for Friday the 13th Part 6.
Mario shows off a little mask detail with the part 6, part 8 and Freddy vs. Jason masks he's owned for quite a few years. You can also see this on the Propstore's Youtube channel.
I've had this for years, don't remember where it came from, but I bet it was from the sculptor, Brian Wade. You can find him on Instagram @millionaireclayboy
This was the final design (and only face sculpt) used in the cemetery scene.
