When the original act of sale is lost or mislaid before it is registered in the conveyance office of the parish, and a person interested in having the sale registered submits an affidavit that the original act has been lost or mislaid, the sheriff who sold the property, or a successor in office, may execute and issue, nunc pro tunc, another act of sale which may be registered in the conveyance office with the same effect as the original act. A copy of this duplicate act certified by the clerk of court is full proof of all of the recitals of the original act.
