here is the second one

The red Dinky Bag 9375 looks ok, but I'm not sure if the turnlock is original. I'll have to look at a few others.
ETA - I d say the turnlock is a non-Coach replacement.

The other one is fake. Wrong shape of the leather padding above the turnlock and wrong font for that plant.

The format and wording of the creed is also wrong for August 1995, below is what the stamps should look like from that plant, month and year:

:yucky:on the gray one, :smile:on the dinky.
I was thinking the red was good because of the irregular stamp, i did not think that would be faked.
Thanks Hyacinth, I will be posting more pics but so far I have 2 fakes out of 9 bags :sad:

The correct turnlock back, actually the back of the "male" part of the turnlock set, for the Dinky shouldn't have visible prongs (they fold over each other,) the second-to-last photo in this listing for one from the same time period shows what that part should look like. It's usually hard to spot because it's normally inside the underflap pocket if there is one.

I'm sorry about the fakes. Good luck with the others!

OK I think I see , the only difference from that link to whats in my dinky is the prongs are covering each other north to south instead of the other way, maybe thats why it has the irregular stamp?

I don't know, the shape of the side sections seems too narrow in the Dinky, or maybe it's just the angle of the photo. But you could be right about that being the reason for the stamp.

It's really important with the Rogues, Swaggers, Dinky bags, and other new bags for sellers to have many detailed photos in their listings because some of the newer bags are very well faked. (I assume you didn't get a response when you first posted back on July 1 because the listing didn't show what we need to see.)

Since the pictures you've posted are the actual bag you received, I can say that I believe the bag to be genuine, but with the number of Coach listings mouseoholic has, she needs to take advantage of all 12 pictures ebay allows sellers to post. As the listings are posted, they can't be authenticated.

Thank you so much! Yes, the pictures she had posted were not the best quality, but I took a chance anyways. The strange thing to me is that the stitching is white, but in the pictures from the Coach website the stitching is yellow. Is this something Coach frequently does?
