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"

These are authentic. The serial number doesn't indicate factory. The target symbol shows that it was sold at a factory store.

Thank you for all of your help.
Here is my 2nd (and final, I'm pretty sure) list:
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"

1 and 3 are authentic. 2 is fake.

@Hyacinth @BeenBurned @whateve
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.

Gosh how could I missed her, last but not least @Catbird9 . Thank you for all the time and expertise you offered to us all.

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.

Hahaha, such a vivid dream only fit for a vintage coach fan

Sir, yes Sir! Done, thanks a ton!

Yes, thanks for point it out @whateve @houseof999 thank you very much.

Aww thank you!! I'm honored! I just love helping out when I can. I'm only slightly obsessed with 1941 bags and can't bear to watch someone pay hundreds of dollars buying a fake.

1 and 3 are authentic. 2 is fake.

Thank you! Do you know the style of #1? I wasn't able to find anything using the style number with my limited knowledge. I always wondered about #2 (from eBay) as I think I found our later that the seller was known for selling fakes.

Thank you for all of your assistance whateve.

I'm glad you got it! I have to admit I was tempted!

You're welcome. #1 is a Carlyle bag #9854 made around 1990.

You authenticators are truly angels. How often does it happen that a post here alerts you to an item you might want yourself? And you graciously leave it for someone who gets this service completely free of charge. I agree with others before me, you people are the absolute best.

Sir, yes Sir! Done, thanks a ton!
