Hi Ladies,
Am I right that this one is authentic Cinnamon/Mahogono Work fra Pre F/W 2007, but I am not 100% sure , so pls help. Many thanks in advance!
(By the way do you think that there is something wrong with the thread on the dark blue first's handles on one of the pics - the thread is double while the HW is regular, not giant ? Or is it pewter HW?)

The cinnamon Work looks okay to me. But there are too much flash effects on the silver plate. To play safe, please ask clear pictures of its silver plate (front and back) and the rivet.

I couldn't tell what color the dark blue First is. The picture is too blurry and cannot see its handle clearly. Please ask the seller providing individual photos of showing its silver plate, bales and rivets.

Sorry for butting in... the rivets look oval ie. off, and the lining on a bbag is always black but this is navy IMO but the silver plate looks ok so wait for the experts...and the thread on the silver plate looks navy too,
