I seem to recall it being discussed but I don't remember what was decided (if anything.)

It may or may not be authentic. If authentic, it was apparently modified. I wouldn't buy it or try to sell it, but I wouldn't report it either.

Here's a look at the inside of an authentic 4020 Drawstring Sac Small, and the catalog description:

In my opinion, it is authentic and hasn't been modified. I've seen at least one other like this. I don't know if any had an inside pocket so there was no place to place a full creed. @Catbird9 are you absolutely sure that the creed you posted is from a 4020?

ETA: More opinions are welcome!

I have several photos from a different 4020 and they match the serial-number-only construction that Whateve mentioned. I saved the photos on March 12, 2019 so maybe a look through the posts on or near that date might turn up the previous discussion.
