Everything I'm seeing looks good. Different leather suppliers can be using slightly different tanning processes, or the cleaners and conditioners an owner uses can affect the feel of leathers. That style could have been a remake of the original, since my catalogs seem to show that the style had been discontinued at least several years before 1998, so details on any remakes could very well have been slightly different. There's no reason for me to think it isn't genuine.
Thannks!
 
I think the first column is meant to be in mm not cm.

The Calculator Site has interactive conversion pages for most common measurements, and also a viewable chart.

Inches to cm conversion chart
The chart below shows the conversion between inches and centimeters/centimetres, rounded to a maximum of 4 decimal places.

ahh..too small... I know I have a list somewhere of the style numbers for them...but it doesnt have the sizes. Im going to have to redo it and put it in cm so I can understand. I hate having to convert inches to cm.
I have the opposite problem. I can't imagine anything in cm. I have a two sided measuring tape in my desk drawer that I pull out whenever I need to convert.
 
Dear authenticators, request to authenticate please. Thank you! (Pardon the poor lighting, it's dark here).

The columns are formatted differently on the web page, the 2 on the left should be separated from the 2 on the right. And if you want to read the measurements in order of size you need to read left to right across all 4 columns, then drop down to the next row. Doing that, you get
top row
1/64 inch =0.0397 cm
1/32 inch = 0.0794 cm

next row across
1/16 inch = 0.1588 cm
0.1 inch = 0.254 cm

next row across
1/8 inch = 0.3175 cm
1/4 inch = 0.635 cm
etc,
but maybe you're right, I can't think in such tiny increments, and since I never need to use tiny fractions with handbag measurements I'm much more comfortable with sizes you'd find in handbags. For instance 5 inches is 12.7 cm, 10 inches is 25.4 cm and 20 inches is double that, 50.8 cm. All of those agree with a chart that I made for myself years ago specifically for handbags.
10 cm = 4 inches
30 cm = 12 inches
50 cm = 20 inches
120 cm = 48 inches

Comments: What is the name of the bag and year it was made?

Thank you authenticators!
The second one MIGHT be a Compartment Bag Large if it's genuine but there's no readable creed and serial number photo and I'm not comfortable authenticating it without one.
That's weird! I'm seeing a creed in the second picture. The bag is fine.
