Yeah, I think this one is a copy. If you look at the signature, it looks blurry beneath, where they would typically write "copy". The Davis gallery authorized copies to be made of his paintings (I believe they were done in the Philippines) and they were also signed "Leeteg Tahiti" but with "copy" below and also usually had a label on the back. We are fortunate to have a couple real Leetegs and a few copies, you can really see the difference. -Duke
