Is this an authentic Coach Bag?

This bag is not currently listed for sale. I believe it is a Coach Musette. The approximate dimensions are 16" x 11" x 5 " . The Creed has a registration number of 022-2404 and states it was made in New York City USA . I have attached photographs.

Just one request regarding future authentications - please try to take a closer photo of the backs of the turnlocks in bags and briefcases that have them. We need to see the plate that's on the back of the front flap, the one that is held on by the (usually) four prongs holding the front of the "female" piece to the back. There are some turnlocks that can be red flags but we need a closer photo to be able to spot them. It doesn't have to be huge, something as small as 400 pixels wide will be fine. Something like this:

turnlock back-9927-c-lg.jpg

Thanks very much!

Both bags are genuine and the names are correct.

It seems to be OK but I'm having trouble reading the serial number because of the angle at which the creed photo was taken. Can you please post the last 5 digits of the serial number, the ones to the right of the dash? It looks like 104 something something but the last 2 numbers are hard for these aged eyes to read and I'm trying to find another example with the same style number for comparison.

Thanks!

So I bought two Coach Signature pouches from a consignment shop to sell but I think one of them (dark brown) maybe fake. This shop, Clothes Mentor, is usually pretty good about authenticating their item but I realized that the dark brown purse was made in Turkey. Here are pictures of both:

Thank you for your help!

Seller isn't representing it as Coach. She has Coach in the listing because she is including a Coach hangtag on a non-Coach bag. I can imagine some buyers would be fooled.

Look again. The "Coach" hang tag is fake.

You really need to read all six of the Salearea Coach Guides that I've finally posted here at tPF. Start here and read all six unless you're not interested in Italian bags and vintage leathers, then you can skip the last two:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/salearea-guides.983575/#post-32252957

Although that serial number has appeared in tens of thousands of fakes, it's also been used in genuine Signature Demi Pouches, like both of yours. Read the Guides.
