Hi authenticators. Picked up a few from gw to rehab. Can you please authenticate?

BEEKMAN in bt
16.5x 13.5 x 4.5

This Companion?
11 x 7.5 x 3

And lastly Legacy flap bag: 9144
10 x 10 x 2.5
View attachment 4064859
At this point my phone is malfunctioning so I have no idea if the photos are working...
Is that a U being used for a month code in the 9144 bag??
It's a J (though it does look like U).
 
So, found this cutie, but not so sure about it. No creed patch inside, hardware feels lightweight, leather feels stiff. Actually, lining fabric does not look like Coach twill. Well made, just not sure. Dimensions are about 10" x 7" x 3.75" I think it wants to be a 49392. No style number that I could find inside the bag. Love the color, but can return the bag for a refund.

Did you dig around inside any pockets for a white label with 2 rows of numbers on it? (So far, I don't see anything that screams fake.)
I turned the one pocket totally inside out, and checked all seams. No luck. If it doesn't scream fake to you, then I will just keep it. Only $30. Thanks!
 
Item: signature crossbody bucket
Link: https://bnc.lt/focc/iRSDEJzLQM
Seller: Rebeccalee008
Comment: I know nothing about signatures. What's the verdict?
Did you happen to read the creed? "Handcrafted of completely natural glove-tanned cowhide." It's not a leather bag and it's not made by Coach.

ETA: Although the bag is definitely fake, the poster who told the seller that the bag doesn't match the serial/style number is wrong. The bag is actually copying 6076 and is close enough to fool buyers.

Oh no! I didn't! I personally don't like signature and run when I see it. Lol! Thank you so much!

And the sadder thing is that if someone were to follow the seller's advice and call Coach with the serial number, she'd probably be told that the bag is authentic because 6076 is a valid style number. (But as we know, NOTHING can be authenticated based only on a serial or style number.)

Feel free to refer rebeccalee008 here if she has questions. (Unfortunately, Poshmark doesn't let me comment, but this only confirms my resolve never to recommend or do business there!)

What? They disabled your commenting?!? Wow.. do they already know you are an Authenticator here? It's so weird and dumb on their part that they won't let you comment yet they are constantly asking random people to "authenticate". [emoji849]

Yes, remember when I thought you'd blocked me because I couldn't comment on your listing? As it turned out, Poshmark is so unethical that when THEY block a person, the message the person gets is that the seller has blocked them. (I'll try to find the discussion. It was long and occurred several months ago.)

Yes I remember that but I thought it was user specific. Ugh. I forgot that it was completely disabled for commenting.

No, it's actually a "J", some of them ended up with that extra line on the left side when they were stamped too deeply. You can see the 2 bases of the "H" right above it.
Yes, now I see when I enlarge the pic. Ty for clarifying. Because everything else does look good, per the authenitification, I was ready to chalk it up to an unusual error.
