OK so the zipper head looks good, the style number and colour code are correct. As is the season. My problem is that the tag is worn to the point where I can't really get a good read on the font. It has the characteristics of the font for this style so if it's a fake they paid attention to detail. I'd say probably authentic but I can't say 100% for sure.

I don't see anything that screams fake but that's the best I can say with these photos. If you read the requirements for photos needed it states all pics need to be facing the camera, no bends in tags, no angled shots. And as you said we're missing the zipper head.
In order to authenticate we need to be able to see the details as stated. We're not being deliberately difficult but when we can't see detailed pics of the font, how it's spaced, etc. we can't give you a definitive answer. Photos that are on angles distort everything. It's a challenge authenticating solely on photos to begin with so we need the best shots possible. Plus every detail we ask for is for a reason, there are fakes that look almost identical to an authentic bag so one particular detail can make a difference.

Missing photo of the back of the zipper head, we need a photo of the entire back of the tag (it’s missing the last line). A close up of the rivet would be appreciated. Please reference your original post number when you repost.

Am I allowed to ask a generalised question re: this strap and the fact that it’s two pieces of leather with a seam in the middle. Is this a red flag in general or not necessarily? Thanks and sorry if this isn’t allowed.
