The Ebay employee who took that down is 100 percent wrong, and whoever actually REPORTED that bag as fake is a bloody IDIOT.

We bust our ARSES here reporting fakes, and some of them are so bad that a blind person could see they're counterfeit. THOSE P'sOS sit around forever and some fool "wins" the auction and gets stuck with it, while Ebay employees wouldn't recognise a genuine Coach if it flew out their pie-hole.

What a royally F***ed-up company.

Legacy Zip from 1991? Is the color called putty? The creed is very worn, this is the best photo I could get.

The Legacy zip is fake. I hope you can return it. The font is incorrect and the E factory code was never used for the United States. The wallet looks okay.

ETA: lol, beat Hyacinth again!

Court Bag from 1994? Height is 8 inches, length is 9 inches and depth is 2 inches. Also, is the strap for this bag only supposed to have a 15 inch drop length? I'm not entirely sure that the strap I found tucked in the inside pocket is the original strap for this bag.

These look fine. Twins on the Sonoma. I love this bag.
The Court bag strap should be longer than that. Back in the old days, Coach let buyers substitute different straps so that might have been what happened.

ETA: sorry, I didn't look at the photo of the straps. Hyacinth is right, it wasn't made by Coach.

The strap ends aren't right for any older Coach strap, and the Court Bag straps didn't have contrast stitching Probably the only Coaches that did during the 1990s were the Sheridans and Dakotas and that strap isn't from any of those lines either. It's definitely been changed.
