View attachment 3792053 View attachment 3792052 View attachment 3792051 View attachment 3792050 View attachment 3792049 View attachment 3792048 Referencing my post above - I just took photos of this Pewter City next to my Pewter First and am now more worried about the City.

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.

A couple of quick comments, as the authenticators haven't been online yet.The leather inside the front pocket started F/W 2005. Your City is a S/S 2005 so it makes sense that there's no leather. I'm guessing your First is the holiday 2005 collection as it has the leather? S/S 2005 was the first season that the notches were cut into the rivets and it was inconsistent that season, you can find both notched and un-notched rivets.
Re: the season/year for your City. I've found a post on the "metallic family-pics only" thread that states the holiday 2004 collection was tagged as S/S 2005. See attached, look at post #15:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/metallic-family-pics-only.140425/

I'm guessing that they made an error regarding agneau vs. chevre. A lot of the descriptions are cut and paste with some changes made to them so maybe they just missed changing the leather type...it wouldn't be the first time a bag was incorrectly described as the wrong type of leather.

Hope this helps, I don't think you have anything to worry about .

Thank you, muchstuff. Very nice of you to share your knowledge. From the color chart by year I thought both bags were the same season (the 2005 holiday pewter seems darker than the 2004). So I guess I have a bag from each season and the City is authentic? Thank you - now to find someone to restore it. Really appreciate your help.

Hi experts!
I've had my eye on this Bal bag (I believe it's Motorcross), and I've never seen this color before. I would love to have you authenticate it if you have a chance!

What does the interior tag on the First say? Can you post a pic?

Hi again... it's really difficult to photograph metallic leather! I'm attaching one with light and one without. I have the paper tag somewhere in this house... just can't find it! Are you concerned about the First? I hope not, it's one of my favourite bags. Thank you for your help again, I really appreciate it.

No, just curious. It was the tag front, I was wondering what season the silver tag showed.
