Based on looking at all of the pictures you show, which are not great, I cannot say that I am certain this is an authentic bag. There are things that make me question. 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.

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.

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.

The Kelly in the pictures is authentic, known on tPF as "waffle" Kelly. I do not know the seller, and I cannot evaluate their feedback because I do not speak German. I find it unusual that they would begin the auction at such a low price. You would be advised to do proper due diligence.

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

Hello lovely ladies. 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.

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