Thought I read somewhere that this bag did not come in a navy/white combination
Here’s a discussion about an eBay listing on this bag being pulled down for being inauthentic:

The question you'd asked originally was whether the color combination was ever made. You said that you'd read that it wasn't made.

The ebay fashion board discussion is about a bag in that color combination but the bag in question was fake. It had nothing to do with the color. His listing was correctly removed because the bag was fake.

Remember, the counterfeiters fake anything they think will sell. They don't limit themselves to certain colors, materials or styles. If they can fool a buyer and rip them off, they'll sell it.

I was quoting from this discussion but I realize reading it again that I forgot the part about them saying that the color combo just wasn’t made in 1994 as J4D’s are from ‘94

Are M1P bags from 2001?

Remember that just because a bag might have a "valid" prefix and/or a style number that matches what the bag looks like doesn't mean it's authentic. Counterfeiters can and do put "correct" numbers on fakes.

in answer to your question, only if a bag is authentic can you interpret the serial number. The spectator court bag above is authentic and was made in 2001.
