I agree, it's definitely fake. The font for the serial number is wrong, and so is the wording of the creed. It's not a 1994 H plant bag which never would have had silver-color hardware nor would it have been made in China. The wording of the creed is also wrong. And it's not a 2004 serial with an incomplete year code because the H plant had been closed for years by that time. There are other problems with the bag's construction but those are the most important ones.

Hi, I was wondering if you could authenticate a Coach strap for me. The strap and lobster clasp just seems off to me and I was wondering if it’s fake or perhaps I’m just not familiar with this style. I’ve never seen a lobster clasp with COACH stamped on it.7E583B59-6283-4BC0-82A4-1689097E1CAA.jpeg55814C83-9F17-4E8E-98AB-496197413DE5.jpeg

What bag did this come with? It isn't constructed like a vintage strap and the shapes of the metal parts are off. Coach didn't put logos on vintage strap hardware. I can't tell but it doesn't look like it is the correct font, plus usually a logo will have the cartouche.
