May I please request an authentication of this Pony Express I bought on ebay yesterday? I was so excited I forgot to post it here before it shipped

Item: Vintage Coach Cashin NYC Pony Express
Listing: 153956482318
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/153956482318
Seller: brodav18
Comments: I see what looks like an "irregular" stamp next to the creed. I had a dream last night that this bag is irregular because it's an east west Pony Express and it measures 3 feet wide. I'm glad to see that isn't true but I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep again until I know it's authentic.

Thank you!
I love reading your posts. You are always have such a good sense of humour. Glad to see that great bag finds a great home

Thank you! I'm so excited to receive it! Could you imagine a 3 foot long purse though? In my dream it was flapping around on my hip and I couldn't get through doorways unless I swung it around in front of me as I passed through the doorway. Maybe I had too much beer yesterday, I don't know.

Hi there

This is my first time authenticating so please let me know if I've done it wrong! I missed the Stone Blue train so have been looking at this on eBay:

Item: COACH 68348 Cassie Leather Crossbody Shoulder Bag Purse Crossbody Stone Blue NEW
Listing number: 114245528954
Seller and site where listed: jellybeanmonster eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COACH-68...g-Purse-Crossbody-Stone-Blue-NEW/114245528954
Comments: I really have no idea what I should be looking for with fakes!
It looks good to me.

I just want to say thank you very much for all the hard work you have done. I know I can count on you each and every time when needed. I am sorry about all the negative posting certain people posted here recently, but they are the RARE few and don't represent the majority of us. We are so fortunate to have this group of extreme knowledgeable & dependable Authenticators, you all make a huge difference in our Coach bag fan life.
A thousand thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Yes! Ditto above! I’m newer/ not as active on the Coach forum, and I’m SO IMPRESSED with the knowledgeable, and speedy! responses you all give! Thank you all so much!

Same! I'm new too and they've definitely got authentication down to a science. That level of precision and the ability to spot and call out BS is equal parts amazing and entertaining :heart:
 
Here's my first list of items for which I'm requesting help in authenticating:
1. Mahogany Maggie Bag (first 3 photos)
I don't remember where purchased
Measurements: 10.5" x 7" x 5.25"
2. Dark navy Legacy (3 photos)
Another I don't know where I purchased
Measurements: 11" x 9.5" x 4.25"
3. Black Legacy Compartment (3 photos)
I think I purchased at Factory store so it would be authentic (does serial # indicate Factory?)
Measurements: 11.5" x 9.25" x 3.5"

Thank you for all of your help.

1. Navy crossbody ? (3 photos)
Purchased from a thrift store
Measurements: 10.25" x 9" x 2"
2. Black Fletcher Bag (4 photos)
Purchased on eBay many years ago
Measurements: 11" x 8" x 4"
3. Black Beekman briefcase (5 photos)
Won new through an online sweepstakes in 1999 or 2000 - should be authentic (serial number confuses me)
Measurements: 16.25" x 13" x 4.75"
