Comments: Please give an opinion on authenticity, thank you. I am not sure about the color name for this bag; I have seen it describe as "tan", "carmel", and "butterscotch"? Thanks again!

Beautiful! It makes me want to pull out mine. It looks exactly the same color as mine. What are you going to do for rehab? I just conditioned mine.

She is filthy, and I can't find the serial online, so she may very well be fake but she is also $4, so a good rehab practice project either way.

You can't find serial numbers online for all-numeric creed numbers. Bags with this type of number were made before 1994 and don't have the style number in the serial. It is a unique number, not shared with any other bag. You should be worried if you do find other bags with the same number. It's authentic.

Thank you so much! I knew there were some unsearchable serials out there, but without being able to do a comparison search on a style number I was less certain about self-authenticating.
