To me it looks about 24"
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't have a good feeling about it. I haven't seen as many RHs as some of the experts, but I'm struck by the lack of finesse that this frame shows, and the rather crude lettering. Could it be that this is an old fake? I'm certainly not bidding on it, although it is nearer to my size (25") than most examples.

Interesting machine. Looks like a large one. Do you know the length of the seat tube in inches or centimeters? The size is crucial a proper fit, and hence bids from interested parties. Cheerio,
