Hi Mistikat,

Thank you for your reply and insightful inputs. You saved me from drowning from a reckless plunge! I've been hooked onto vintage pieces recently and I think I should be doing more research before committing impulsively. I totally forgot about H not working on the bag insides. And yes, the price is quite steep considering that I have to factor in the price of having the turnlock replace. Thanks again for your help!

I think the bag is authentic, but seller does not discuss the marks on the inside flap. Price seems high to me for a bag this old with a loose turnlock and issues with the interior. Courchevel is difficult to refurbish, and Hermes won't work on the inside of the bag in any event. If you are seriously interested, ask for better photos of problem areas, including the interior.

Agree with mistikat about price on the somewhat high side. A loose turn lock does not necessarily have to be replaced though, they can and do loosen over the years. It does not mean they will fall off. If you like a bag with a pristine interior then it's worth bearing in mind that most oldier bags have signs of use inside. Just something to think about.
