I was looking at another one, but Ellie Mae pointed this out to me yesterday and it's NWT. EM bought a similar bag (same color) from this seller last month and posted photos of it after she received (#31898 in this thread). Several members authenticated it.
I requested photos of the paper tags and date code stamp last night--hoping to hear back soon. Will post when I do.
Gracias! You ladies are terrific!

From what I can tell, the key is usually on the other side of the lock from where this one appears. Help...I'm waiting for the seller to provide more pictures but here is what I have so far

I don't think this is real but hold off for the experts.

Thank you Fraggler, it is listed on Craigslist for $300. I am so glad I found this site.

Oh dear--this bag is awesome! It looks authentic to me. Any opinions?
I asked the seller to send heatstamp and receipt photos. Anything else I should ask for?

I would ask for another pic of the inner date code tag just to tie in with the hangtag, the other pics look good!

But please ask the seller to check the handles, as currently (including me) some people have problems with handles of the Heloise not holding! (ckeck the Chloé forum)

I'm regrettably no Silverado expert, but as far as I know both look OK, I would ask for a pic of the reverse of the hangtag of the second one though! If you post additional pics, please always post them together with the original link!

fong_fai - Can you take a photo of the entire bag - but close up - but with the handles standing up - or the bag hanging from something. I need to see the part of the bag below the handle area - i.e., the finger area - so two on the front and two on the back - i.e., so a photo of the entire front of bag and entire back - but I need it close up - as I want to check this closely - so I'm specifically looking at the areas below attachment of the handles - but the handles must be up as if you are holding them. Sorry if this is confusing - but there are a couple of issues with this bag and I want to make sure I can see everything possible.

I am not sure about finger area but I try my best. Please let me know if you want more pics. Thanks
I think pics of the finger area are as requested, but you will need Lescoy to check this out (don't know what she is looking for but she is the most thorough on here, so trust her analysis!). I would have liked to see a better pic of the metal plate, it is still rather blurry... and another shot close up of the padlock front and back side!

Also, can anyone tell me what they think of these (not sure if there's enough photos):

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&it em=320276476325

Thanks in advance for any help, i've looked at so many bags but i'm determined not to get ripped off! I don't mind paying for it if it's the real deal so i suspect i might be out of luck with these! Thanks again.
First two are horrible fakes!
Third one was posted before, you would need better pics (metal plate, heatstamp inside, heatstamp on padlock, engraving on buckle and key and date code tag) These here are too blurry, sorry!
Last one I would also ask for additional pics: metal plate close up and straight on, also heatstamp inside close up, padlock front, keyhole placement, inside of handles, date code tag (so you can read it), buckle and key engraving closer and more straight on. Right now it's hard to see the details!
Good luck!
As for info, we tend not to give out too much specific info as there may be possible fakers lurking around to learn how to make better fakes!
You can always do a research on the reference library!

I don't know the Silverado very well, could be OK, but you need to wait for an expert to chime in!
