It indeed is an early year Bal First (2003 S/S), and it is authentic.

Bales are the metal part at the end of the detachable shoulder strap. Rivets is the round buttons on the inner side of the handles.

Good luck!

Agree with HandbagAngel. Looks like an 03 Mastic. You can check out the color here:

Ok, I emailed the seller and she read my message, but no reply.

It looks like she's using Erica's description and pictures. Unless she bought them originally from her, I would exercise caution -

I found a bbag and wasn't sure if the 2009 First bags have the color "Granny".
Looks pretty good, but just to make sure.

A little help please?

Thanks.

Welcome! I'm not familiar with the large Bowling Bag, but the imprints on the tag and the hardware all look authentic. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum. This looks authentic, but please ask seller for clear straight-on photos of the bale and rivet, just to be extra safe. Good luck!

You might enjoy spending some time on the various reference theads. Here are colors by season:
