Really need help identifying this mask so I can buy my uncle a new one. He loved it and I don’t want to tell him until I replace it.

I don't think you'll have luck with a new one without a time machine. I haven't seen one that looked like that since the 00's, and those were probably from the 80's. I don't know exactly what the mask is, but the bumps along the top seem distinctive. Maybe one of the vintage people will be able to ID it.

Good luck! I think an uncomfortable adult conversation is in your future!
 
Buy him one of these and I don't think he will complain.

 
... I don’t want to tell him until I replace it.
I think you should tell him, and tell him that you are willing to replace it. He might have a spare. Or he might actually prefer something else, given a reason.

And he might be one of those uncles who absolutely will NOT let his nephew/niece purchase him a replacement mask!

That is going to be nearly impossible. Mask designs are probably the fastest changing product in the scuba industry. New colors, shapes, gimicks yearly. The old ones are phased out in a few years.

If someone had a lot of vintage catalogs, and a lot of time to kill, they might find what it was. But even if you figure it out it is unlikely you will ever find it.

Time to take your uncle shopping. Let him pick what fits him and he likes and buy him a new mask. That's going to be the best thing you can do.

This is true.
I still have mine [yellow], don't dive it anymore, can not , or will not get rid of it.
Too many dives with that mask.
Buy him this to replace it, [it is my replacement].
Edit: Scubapro Solo, I have the The Atomic Aquatics Frameless mask as well.

Don't know about high end but i found this on eBay and it looks identical except for the color. Maybe a place to start.

That is a cheap copy of the TUSA Tabata mask I have.
I will post a photo [when I have time].
