I can't read the serial number at all except for the last 2 digits but I don't see any red flags. If you buy it, please post a clearer photo of the creed and serial. If the number still isn't readable, lightly brush a light-colored powder like a pale eyeshadow or highlighter over the creed and number and then very gently wipe off the excess so that some of the powder is still left in the indentations from the letters and numbers. Even talcum powder might work.

I am thinking about making a bid on this bag, wondering if I should, pros and cons, is it a fake, etc?

Is this bag authentic?
Item: True Vintage Coach Small Black Leather Shoulder Bag Purse Tongue Loop
Listing number:352026919990
Seller: jessiesdressies
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/352026919990?ViewItem=&item=352026919990
Comments: If authentic, could you help with the name or any info on the bag? What is a good term for that leather tuck-in tongue-flap part? Trying to use the googler to track down the name only led to a lot of results with human tongues. yeesh.
Thank you!

It's authentic. It's a Brighton bag from the early 90s. Coach called it a tab and loop closure, but I doubt sellers will know that.
