This one's last 4 numbers are 4903. Is it authentic?

This one's last 4 numbers are 9164. Can it be authenticated?

And this one's last 4 numbers are 4919. Is is authentic?

 

[BeenBurned]

This one's last 3 numbers are 230. Could it be authenticated too?

This one's last 4 numbers are 4903. Is it authentic?

These 2 are authentic.

Note that we need to be able to READ the creeds and serial numbers. Knowing the numbers doesn't help. The creeds for these bags are legible enough to authenticate.

 

[BeenBurned]

Can this be authenticated? Its last 4 numbers are 5509

I'm not feeling comfortable about this one but more pictures are needed.

Please try to get a better and more legible picture of the creed and serial number as well as a picture of the back of the flap with the female side of the turnlock.

It's fine.

Need a picture of the creed.

This one is fake. The creed pictures are terrible. We really need better pictures.

As BeenBurned already said, we need to be able to see and read the details of the creed and serial number, and we need straight-on photos of them when possible.

Black is a hard color to photograph but this is a trick that experienced sellers use to clearly show Coach creed and serial number details, and works best on dark colored leather. It also helps if the pocket or lining that the creed is stamped or sewn into isn't attached to the bag along the sides or bottom. Bring the patch or stamped area as far out of the rest of the bag as possible so all the details can be clearly seen in a photo.

Using a very light color powder shadow like eyeshadow or brush-on highlighter, lightly brush the powder over the entire stamped part, making sure to cover the entire creed and serial number. Gently wipe off the excess, you want the powder to settle into the stampings while leaving the background a darker color. Use a Macro setting if you have one on your camera or phone and be sure to try and get the area you're photographing as flat and as well-lighted as possible.

If powder shadow or highlighter isn't available, talcum or baby powder might also work. Once the photos are readable and ready, a slightly damp washcloth should clean up the rest of the powder.

I think the bag is okay but every other bag of the same style that I've found is from a different (93) plant than the one in question (69). It's possible that once the pilot bags were made, they moved production to a different plant.

I'm guessing the difference I'm seeing in the slant of the month code is plant-related rather than authenticity related but other opinions are welcome.

I have exactly the same bag in the non-pilot version, and this one looks fine.

Hello purse twin!

It's authentic. I'm not sure what the style is. I've seen similar but but not with a turnlock.

I have the same one with a turnlock. Have to look if it has serial number.

I checked my bag and it also does not have a serial number. Since now we know there's another one just like mine, is it safe to say the turnlock isn't an after market addition?
