Is there a tiny "925" at the right bottom corner of the metal plate? Also, please post the back of the zipper head with the "Lampo"

Hello, again. I was able to buy the white first and here are some of her pics. It seems like there were some repairs made on the hardware as I noticed some of it looking different.

@peacebabe if you look at the original post, the zipper head is there (post 9118). I told the OP at the time that what I saw looked good but she was missing the rivet and a better pic of the tag would be ideal. On the original post you can the the 925 on the tag front.
@Cleopie71 this bag is from F/W 2003 and the hardware is correct for the year. Hardware has gone through changes over the years, if you're comparing the hardware on this bag to a newer model it won't look the same.

Thanks, ladies. What I meant was when I received the bag some of the hardware are different (quite noticeable in actual) which got me thinking that the bag was already repaired before. I really didnt noticed the number 925, it was so small Leather is still fantastic though and much smooshier than the blue one. I thank you for your help especially to muchstuff, yeah I just wanna show off the rivet and the tag after getting the lil lady.

Yes, the rivets in the early bags didn't have the notches cut into them, that started in 2005. Enjoy your bag!

Hi ladies,

If you get a moment, can you sweep an eye over this bag on PoshMark? It is listed as a City but I think its a Town. The color might be Beige Nougatine. Any idea if this is prone to color transfer? Thanks!

Looks like a Town to me, you're missing too many pics for an authentication, please see the link below. Rose gold hardware was made from S/S 2010 to F/W 2012, and the 2010 zipper heads were blank, so if authentic this would be from either 2011 or 2012, possibly cumin, too early for beige nougatine. Please refer to this post number if you re-post with the additional pics.
