Comments: There are three bags in question, this one is supposedly the most worn bag. I don't have a link, but I'm attaching the pics that were emailed to me.

Your post is confusing and there should only be one bag per request. Whatever I am looking at here is not authentic.

Sorry, there are two other bags that she is offering, but I only posted this one. I figured I wouldn't waste anyone's time by posting all three because if one is fake, they probably all are. The (non-working) link is to the pictures in my photostream and I uploaded a couple of them too so that it'd be easier to get to. Thanks for your quick answer.:sad:

Ok, PLS help, I was at my friends office last night and her friend is selling this Birkin 35 green bag, as I know this is togo leather. Bag smells like new just from factory leather and I was suspicious! She sad that bag is present and as she has black and white and she really does have black I saw it she is selling this one! I took some photos but with IPHONE. I also marked field on one pic cos I saw some color over the edge! I wanna by it but price is way to high and I'm so not sure about auth. Can you pls help me? And the letter on the strap is M,as I found at TPF it 2009 age of production?

I'm not an authenticator and the photos aren't very clear, but I own enough Hermes bags to say this one is fake.

Hi Salia73,

I 'm back on my notebook and was finally able to get a better look at the photos. Well, the note just identifies the style and size of the bag and is irrelevant. Why don't you post this in Doc's thread for an opinion on stripping off the paint job and redying it yourself?

I hesitate to give you the thumbs up, as I'm not an authenticator, but I believe that under that layer of cracked white paint, a genuine Kelly slumbers. At a bargain price it might make for a fun DIY revival.

Hi!

I know it´s a little bit late, but I hope you can authenticate this bag before the auction ends, thank you very much! :nuts:

Comments: The seller writes that the Kelly is one of the first kelly bags sold in Germany in the 1950´s. Can this be real?

The photos are not up to par for what we need, but what I am seeing does not look authentic and most certainly is not togo.
Please read and use the format as noted in the title of this thread for future requests.
