I have no confidence in this auction, for a number of reasons. I would skip it. Also be aware than when a seller asks to split the payment between wire transfer and a small amount on PayPal, you lose PayPal protection should something go wrong. Also please check this seller's feedback.

hi,

just wondering if someone could authenticate for me?

item: hermes black birkin 35, GHW
listing #: 171016627689
seller: mcstrawbaby
link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/171016627689?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
comments: obviously, the feedback is a BIG danger sign. Cuffs does seem to be a legit seller of Hermes bags, am wondering if anyone can comment?

the seller did send me more photos of the stamp, corners, inside, etc, which I will post.

It is also the preference of the authenticators to comment on current, not closed, auctions and sales, and to give authentication to members who post in a range of threads, not just requesting free authentication for designer items. If your request is not answered here, for whatever reasons, professional authentication services are available outside of PF.


Applicable to Post # 8327 8328,8332 and 8333.

Hi and welcome. I believe the bag is authentic, but with vintage box bags, it's sometimes hard to tell what is actual patina and what a seller may have applied to a bag to make it look well conditioned. It looks a bit dry to me (maybe more than a bit) in the few focused closeups provided by the seller. Also be aware the the initials could be removed - but you would be left with holes in the leather where they were applied. Might be worth asking the seller for better pics of the bag and if has been recently conditioned by Hermes. Good luck!
