IMO, the baguette is a superfake. There are many details that are spot on correct, but three things that are dead wrong: the font on the leather serial tag, the font on the authenticity card, and the lack of a serial number on the hologram tag.

And the wallet as the same incorrect font on the authenticity card. Since it's from the same seller, I'm going to presume it's fake too.

Thank you Greendrv. How about this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTHENTIC-FENDI-...QQcmdZViewItem
I realize that they are also stock photos but if you were to base your opinion on those pics, you think it's real? It has a different serial number font.
Also, I was looking at another baguette and was wondering does fendi ever use gold hardware on their zucca or zucchino baguettes?
In general, has anyone had any experience with eBay seller, milansbestbags?

The font isn't right on the leather serial tag of this tag either. In the past 20 years, Fendi hasn't changed the font it uses for it's serial numbers (either stamped in the bag, or on a leather serial tag). I haven't had any experience with this seller, but s/he is selling a suspicious looking MJ bag.

FAKE! The contrast stitching gives it away.

Personally, I would stay away from this seller. As far as I know (and if I'm wrong please correct me), Fendi does not make a brown zucca with a gold buckle/hardware-- only silver. The buckle looks silver in the pic, but the description says gold. I emailed this seller about this once, suggesting that Fendi does not make said combo, and I got a snotty reply about authenticity. IMHO, I think they are selling AAA fakes. If you go to their eBay store and read about them, their business description is suspect.

I got this at an estate sale and wanted to know if it was real. The daughter said it was bought at Neiman's about 1.5 years ago and was used as an everyday bag. I took some horrible pictures (the colors are off,) but maybe they came out okay to tell. The hologram tag is very worn but still shows depth with an A on one line and 497663 underneath. There is also a leather tag as well with same leather as outside with a very long serial number. Hardware is gold with silver on part of tube that says Fendi. The leather is very soft but definately worn. Any help would be great.

This bag in that colour only came out this S/S. How could she have purchased it 1.5 years ago? I'm not even sure the spy bags have been around that long. I so hate it when people lie to sell fake goods

Hmm....do you have a clearer pics,like a close up of the front of the bag and the handles? Something looks wrong to me but IF it's a fake then it's a really good fake. But honestly I doubt it to be real because 1.5 yrs ago this color (honey) didn't even exist yet

That's even ignoring the fake zucca lining, awful leather etc. It's just so wrong. I hope you can get a refund
