Zipper brand doesn't matter. I've had NYC bags with different brands of zippers. They didn't always use Talon. I've seen different zipper pull ring sizes too. I've never compared dog leash clips but I can imagine those could vary as well.

Thanks whateve, Doesn't authenticate, but the rest looks good enough.
 
This is an odd one, it has the "No" printed on the creed upside down.

That's not the only thing wrong with it. How many times have you seen a serial number with an all-letter prefix?

The creed is also stamped in the wrong place, and the cwappy serial number looks like the stamp was a solid piece. If you're the bidder, cancel your bid.
 
How does one go about reporting it and would they believe me? Will I remain anonymous ?
Not the bidder.
You'll remain anonymous to the seller. Ebay will know. On the right side of the listing, just above the description, is a link that says "report item." Click on that and pick the appropriate categories, write a short description and submit.

The more reports ebay gets, the quicker an item will be removed. If you continue to report items and they see that you know what you are talking about, they'll pay more attention to your reports.

Got it. Have done.

Come on, you gotta admit the upside down NO was the best part (I thought so)
