I was able to pick this piece up again recently and I was quite surprised to find an example that was upgrade material to my current piece (which was fantastic until I saw this one.) I am fully documenting comparisons of the two pieces in order to try and track different moulds made by Goetz for certain pieces that are known to be personally cast by him. It isn't often anyone gets the chance to do comparative analysis on these rare ones. I just looked back in my database and see that these particular pieces in Europe are going for six times what I paid three years ago...and three times what I paid for this one in the US.... 
Anyway, this is the keeper and I already have a bidding war going for other...I may just hang onto it for a while 
K-510 KARL GOETZ SELF PORTRAIT, at the age of 60, 1935 Cast Bronze, 115.5mm, 497.7g. Edge-punched “KGoeTz”, Gussfrisch (as cast), RRR
