Item: coach prairie
Creed: A7L-9954

In my possession, bought from CL.
I can't tell if it's authentic with a poor stamping or it's fake due to the bold font.

It would be easier if the creed photo was taken in Landscape mode like the others, and if you could highlight the stamping. I can't read any of it. Gently rub a light-colored powder eyeshadow or other light colored powder makeup (even baby powder would probably work) over the creed stamp and serial number. You want the light color or pearl to settle into the letters and then gently wipe off the excess from the raised part of the creed. The stamp will be a lot easier to read.

Here goes.. I tried. Looks like the stamper moved while pressing. I used eye shadow and increased the "pop" as per my editing tool. Hope it's good enough! IMG_20170218_210714691.jpg
