Hello, i cant help without seeing the rivet & back of zipper. Please only post the features as same as my undersigned link

Here are the detailed photos! Unfortunately, the seller misunderstood the meaning of the underside of the zipper, but could you authenticate based on everything except that bit?

Thanks!!

IMG_0806.jpg IMG_0805.jpg IMG_0804.jpg Hi, Bal Girls. I haven't been here in a while (apologies!) but I really need help.

I just received an A metal tag Metallic Pewter City from fashionphile (purchased from their site, not on eBay) and it doesn't have the pewter leather inside the front exterior pocket. I've never seen a First or City without the leather inside the pocket. They also listed it as "2005" and "agneau" leather. I bought it knowing it needed to be restored, but now I'm really worried about the discrepancies with the pocket and the year/tag letter.

I've looked at several authentication articles on the internet and I can't find anything that says it's okay NOT to have leather in the front pocket. Also, A tags are supposed to be S/S 2005, but per the color charts, Metallic Pewter is from either Holiday 2004 or Holiday 2005, so I'm wondering about that issue too. Any feedback would be appreciated.

1. The First has the leather inside the pocket, the City does not.
2. On the underside of the handles, the First has rivets that have the two "cuts" on the sides, but the City has solid rivets, no cuts at all.
