Hello! Are multiple bags allowed in one post?

1- genuine Scout Bag style 9890 from the early 1990s
2- I don't see any creed or serial number photos, we need those to authenticate
3- genuine, from 1996
4- genuine, 1996
5- genuine, from 1999
 
Multiple requests are okay but I would prefer if you would limit it to 2 or 3 per request.
1. authentic Scout bag
2. authentic
3. authentic prairie bag
4 & 5. both are authentic. 4 is probably British tan, 5 is mahogany. That's a difficult choice. I really love mahogany. I hate what the seller did to the strap of the British tan but you could fix that with a soak and pressing under books.

Thank you! I will be sure to limit any requests in the future. :)
I know!! I still don't know which color I'd prefer... but thanks for the tip about the strap!

Hello to All! I come now to ask that this Coach 9951 be authenticated please. I do fear it is not genuine. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank You All! OOPS! Not for sale on the web but, in my collection. I put photos on Flickr for viewing ease. Here is the link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/63156738@N05/albums/72157711770859331

I'm afraid you're right. It's fake.

Hi, could anyone help me with the style name of this bag? I just bought it but I can't find anything. I bought through a Goodwill auction that says it has been authenticated but no numbers and/or name provided. Thanks so much!
