Thank you!

Thank you. When did Bal stop using metal plate for ID?

Hello, if you have the time, please authenticate this City for me. Also, if anyone can guess by the photos, or otherwise have knowledge of this particular season, whether this is chevre or agneau, your opinions would be much appreciated. I believe this is s/s of '08, and I'm not sure exactly when they made the switch from chevre to agneau. Thank you so much!

Spotted this one. On the tag - one side has a metal plate with E (for 2015), then on the other side imprinted the ID number with a big font "MADE IN ITALY".
Is it authentic? Thanks.

Not all pics needed are there but FP is pretty reliable and it looks authentic based on what I see.

Not positive but it looks like 2019. The metal plates never were used in all styles.

Authentic in my opinion, both leathers were used in that season, I'm not very good at guessing leathers based on photos, sorry.

It looks a little dark in the pics but its a S/S 2012 bleu cobalt. I'm guessing its a bit brighter in real life?

This is actually the true colour. I had initially thought it’s the bleu obscur

It's tough to do colour via pics online. The colour code and season are correct for bleu cobalt.

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

No worries!

Again, I'm not an expert on this style but judging by what I see I'd say authentic.

Thanks so much for your amazing help!
