Authenticate This BURBERRY

Hello,

The gentlemen over at Styleforum suggested I check with the experts on the purseforum.

I managed to win an auction for a nice bright colour scarf on eBay. Advertised as authentic Burberry Prorsum £ 650 retail value. Seller located in London UK. I didn't pay much for it, and there's a 14 day return policy on the auction, so I'm hoping to have it authenticated, either before closing the deal and sending my payment (48hrs) or within 14 days for a refund. A trip to the Burberry store might be an option, but I'd rather check here to see if there are any blatantly obvious signs that my novice eyes missed - beyond the usual buying low priced Burberry on eBay warning flags.

What stands out to me is the pattern, I haven't ever seen Burberry do gradient colours like this, mostly really crisp lines and patterns.
Also worn twice, with the tag still attached. meh ..
If someone can help provide some any input or advice I'd much appreciate it.

Hi terite,
Thanks for the reply, To get better photos of all tags and labels I'd have to either pay for it and ship it home or request the eBay seller provide me with clearer photographs for authentication before sending the payment.
Do any of you have good experiences returning goods non-authentic goods on eBay ?
Any suggestions with this ? it was about 60£ - worth the gamble maybe ? How good is eBay / paypal buyer protection program I have no experience returning goods ? i suppose the 14 days return option, could mean that I don't have to supply a reason.

Well - the stamp that is shown looks good and what I can see looks good - the fringe and the color - there are no red flags for me. This would NOT be a style that would commonly be faked because it is not identifiable as Burberry (ie. not the check).

ebay is excellent for returns with ITEM not as described -

Hi terite,

Thanks,
No red flags is all I needed to hear to pay and bring this scarf in.
I'll be sure to post new clear and crisp photos in a few days when it arrives.
Feel free to change your mind and let me know if you think it's not authentic, I'd rather have a second opinion and return it within the 14 days, than support someone get away with selling fake stuff on eBay. On the other hand if it is authentic, it could help bolster this seller's credibility.
 
So last week I was at a flee market and found a a vintage Burberry bag which I only paid 1 euro
Now Im not sure whether the bag is real or a fake and so would really like your expertise to verify if I found a complete steal or not.
The bag has the vintage burberrys of London badge, it has the pvc style material and there is no sign of colour wear through out. It looks authentic but the lines dont match up on both sides and also there is no label made in or a code so I have my doubts. The bag is very old so I am hoping this is how it used to be made.
Really appreciate you help and feedback20170409_161200-747x1328.jpg 20170409_161219-1328x747.jpg , if you need more information just let me know.
