Can't figure out the artist on this mask I've had for years. Pretty sure it's Alaskan, anyone recognize the signature?

I was told John Hagen but in the signature it doesn't look like Hagen

Another big (John) name in Pacific Northwest transformation masks is John Marston, but I couldn't find his signature. I also felt like with the makers mark maybe it started with a J, since it looks like two crossed J's, although if the last name begins with a J it doesn't look like the one in John.
