Wasn't there a group lot that included LEG
XXX, LEG
XXV and another, in last years JD sale or Student Mentor sale? I certainly remember bidding on them. Undoubtedly fake as likely is the one you illustrate, but the recent NAC examples allowed one to examine the alteration rather more closely than the black and white old photo of a plaster
cast in the
Ratto sale. Whereas for
LEG PRI LEG IIX I believe there are many
forgeries but a few genuine, for legions above XXIII I believe that are all altered and I don't know anyone who has asserted otherwise since
Babelon. I think one would need to examine the
Ratto specimen in hand if one was to assert that it is genuine, an otherwise non existent
type that could have been easily altered cannot be authenticated from a photo, in fact a presumptive fake.
edit: here's the lot. Just
XXX,
XXVhttp://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=656944Auction catalogs: working from memory that's the Bonazzi sale, a very great sale. I have a copy of Bonazzi, and I think at NYINC this came in a lot of 3 catalogs of which I missed the other two
Ratto sales, if that was the lot you were lucky to secure it.
