I'm curious about this one.

I found that the Mercari seller has 2 other fakes that I posted on the Hall of Shame:

I've never seen "W" as a US plant code and certainly not in 1996.
Seller Maria Lopez

Opinions?

Here's another weird one from a Japanese seller with a history on the Hall of Shame thread. The F plant bags have a very distinctive font, one that this bag doesn't have.

Seller minhmam


Am I also reading marXings?

I have that one in my files as a B plant mistake. I've seen several bags with the exact same creed number. This will be the fourth one I've added to my files.
 
I'm seeing marxings too. Agree about the font. The pictures I have of this style show the lock going a different direction. The top handle looks wonky. View attachment 5133366
Although I think we both agree that the briefcase is fake, I think Coach may have used different locks on authentic bags. My records show a lock similar to the one on the bag in question.

(Check your PM.)
