May I bother you to take a look at this auction. Aside from authenticity I'm confused about the date stamp. The seller states it was purchased in 1997 yet the date stamp would indicate a production year of 1971 if I'm correct. Also, wasnt the lobster claw used back then on the shoulder strap? I understand if you can only comment about authenticity and I apologize for the other questions in advance.

I can only say that the Kelly pictured is definitely authentic, and looks exactly like a Kelly of 1997, it cannot be a Kelly of 1971. The look of the bag would be different in certain respects if it were a 1971 Kelly. The only think I can think of is that the craftsman made a mistake when it was stamped and put a circle around the "A" letter instead of a square. 1997 was the first year for squares, perhaps there was a confusion, who knows? But the bag is authentic.

This is what I thought after looking at your first group of pictures, and this next group has left me in the same place. I would be personally rather wary about a transaction with a friend who is trying to sell a so called brand new bag (although this stamp is from 2008) that they received as a gift. Why not wait and get a bag from a seller who has a long publicly verifiable history?

Hi, thanks so much. However, if I add that this bag was bot originally from the reseller Brandsoff (asia reseller), which had a reputation, will that make a difference? I have seen the receipt just now (sorry, I just asked for it)

Brand new was because the bag was not used before, but yes it is from 200x year.

Bababebi, thank you so very much for your continued selfless contribution to those of us without your knowledge. It's much appreciated!

Your account of how the bag arrived with you has changed a bit. In your first post you said a friend received this bag as a gift and was selling it. Now you say the bag comes from a reseller in Hong Kong and you have seen a receipt.

I am very sorry, but I personally would really prefer not to comment further here on the pictures of this bag.

Hi, sorry, i meant she got it as a gift but it was bought from Brandoff originally. I didn't mean to cause confusion here. Cuz later I asked if she knows where the bag was from, then I was shown a receipt.

I could go back to reseller if there is something wrong with it. That's what I meant.

Many thanks for your kind help. I didnt mean to be flaky.

Anyway, I will bring it to my Hermes SA and see if she can help further. Many thanks again!!!

The bag was for sale on the BrandOff website. I searched and found it. Their pictures are even worse than yours, (LOL!) however they are a well known seller as you said.

Taking the bag to Hermes is always a good idea.

I can speak enough German to evaluate that they have quite a bit of feedback complaining of fakes.For fake iphone cases

Actually I think the stamp of this bag is not a A but a V. 1992. And of course I agree it is authentic.
