3 Masks in The Man in the Iron Mask

First of all, I don't have backing-up evidence on my answer. Its according to my viewpoint.



As for the first and second masks (the one Philippe was wearing originally and the mask put on the corpse) are intentionally created. So as to give more of a sense of the deception (the escape) to the viewer. The viewer senses that they kept the original mask (to be sent to Louis) and put-on a second, fake mask on the corpse to help them escape.



As for the third mask, I think its a plot-hole (he couldn't have got the mask that was sent to Louis earlier and they wouldn't have created another similar mask just to keep looking at it).



This is my personal viewpoint and may not be accurate. So please don't vote me down if this answer proves to be wrong. :)
