The bag (the Box style) is authentic to me and my guess is that the handles where replaced by a professional (not by Balenciaga) so that could explain why all the rivets but one were not original. For some reason, they could re-use one of the original ones?. I should see the bag in person but leather on handles look different texture than the original ones and laces look wider and almost new for such and old bag like this.

Thank you so much for the reply, @LostInBal 😊. The handles' leather does feel and look slightly different than the rest of the bag which I just noticed after you pointed that out, so I agree they seemed to have been replaced professionally, including some of the rivets. Maybe those were broken during the replacement, so they decide to change the rivets (?). Anyway the seller agrees to give additional price cut after I'm pointing these out, so I settled with that decision. Relieved that at least this is authentic, just altered.
