Style number does not show up where the creed is stamped on the very wrinkled leather. Is this authentic, or a fake? TIA

There's just no way to authenticate it with the photos the seller posted. Seeing the ends of the top zipper and the back of the turnlock plate might help but only if it was fake and those details were wrong. Without a readable serial number a bag as widely-faked as a Taft should just be left alone. I wouldn't recommend buying it unless someone really likes to gamble, especially when Poshmark is the selling venue.

I AM a bit curious to see how the seller responds to questions though.
