the date stamps comes out too blurry, its a J in square. Its hard to see.
The seller has sold many birkin before and the buyers are very happy, but I really need to confirm for my own peace of mind.

Thanks

Addict, tell us who the seller is. If you want an answer to your question, please supply ALL the information you have. Also, if you read the very first post in this thread, you'll know what pictures are required for authentication.

Hope this helps!

More details and pics:
his is truely an AMAZING 40cm Birkin in one of the signature Hermes leathers....CHAMONIX. It is similar to box calf, but has a matte finish. This leather is extremely durable and develops the most gorgeous patina over time.......a highly desirable and prized leather for the true aficionados/collectors. It is more expensive than the common Epsom, Togo, and Clemence and cannot be imitated.

The beautiful natural light golden brown color is complemented with a contrast white topstitching and palladium hardware. Blind stamp is "D" and was seldom carried, exhibiting general signs of light wear and the corners show some rubbing....Interior is IMMACULATE. There are some very faint waterspots....hardly noticeable except under close inspection and will become even less noticeable as the leather ages and develops a patina. One light scuff on the back which can be very easily buffed out and a small scratch towards the very bottom which also, is barely noticeable. Overall, still in VERY GOOD condition.

Bfd, there is no way to authenticate any of the bags you've posted. The pictures are poor, and there aren't enough of them. If you go to the first post in this thread, you'll know what's expected for authentication.

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
Authenticators may also request additional pictures and/or information in order to assist with authentication. Please remember, it is always useful to have several close up pictures when submitting an item for authentication.

NOTE: In the absence of an auction listing (private sale situations), posters to this thread are encouraged to provide the following extra pictures, which need to be large and really sharp. It is recommended to use the macro function of the camera:

- Front view of bag
- Zipper & its end
- Hardware
- Craftsman stamp on strap
- Hermes stamp + Top stitching
- Clear picture of the interior lining
- Base of the handles
- Side view of the strap guides

I remember seeing exactly the same pictures and description a while ago on Gumtree London.

Mike, you are not providing enough very clear, pertinent pictures. I suspect that's why our authenticators haven't chimed in.
 
addict24, we have already commented on this bag, and seller. If you are not able to take better pictures there is nothing more we can to to help you, I am sorry, that is just the way it is. No major red flags, but without pictures we are just not able to say more.

You should be able to use the macro feature to get a picture of the craftsman stamp. alternatly you can take the bag to hermes and ask for a spa treatment or to have your initials put on. This thread is for authentication purposes, so you can research in the forum for more on spa, etc.

If you go back a few pages you will see the comments, without better pictures you are relying solely on the seller reputation.

That is the end of the line for us. :shrugs:

Sorry if Im driving everyone crazy :(

her ebay id is user857857
here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290400609098&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

addict24, In order to evaluate the bag independently of the seller, we need better pictures of the important parts of the bag. Please see the first post in this thread for information on what is needed

I think that CobaltBlu answered you earlier...

Please review the first post in this thread to see the kind of clear, close up pictures that are requested. Thanks!

We know this as a reputable seller, but we need to evaluate the bag, as well as the seller, particularly these days. Unfortunately the pictures did not show the important details. I am not unduly worried about your transaction, but it is very risky these days to buy a bag without seeing even a close up of the blind stamp and stitching.

I do not recommend that, generally, there are a only a handful of sellers with whom I would be that confident, really. maybe two handfuls, but that is after a long time of being here and knowing a lot of the history. Good luck, please let us know how this turns out.

From the first post in this thread...


Look at this auction from the provious page to see what kind of photos are needed....
