I really don't like authenticating Cabats, they can be easily faked (and some quite well), have very few markers of authenticity compared to other BV bags, and they are such a high value/dollar item, I would be devastated to be wrong about one. I would advise anyone looking for a secondhand Cabat to seek out a professional service. (Though, I've heard one of the really good ones is rather slow, so for an auction format, that doesn't fly sometimes)

However, the Ebano Cabat in the listing doesn't send up any red flags for me. What I see so far checks out. I would ask the seller to please provide you with a better picture of the plaque on the pouch. She hasn't posted a clear, straight on picture of it and it would be very helpful to see the details on it. If you can post that here, I - or someone else here - can give you a better opinion. :flowers:

Von is our primary authenticator but I did take a look. More photos are needed. You'll want to ask for a clear photo of the heat stamp (the one provided is blurry) and both sides of the white serial tag in the bag itself. I'd be interested in a good photo of the interior to see the material and color used. My only other observation is that the zipper pull looks rather long.

What grietje wrote above.
However, based on what I see, I'm inclined to say not authentic. Ask the seller for the extra photos and we can revisit it :flowers:
