Thank you!! When I looked up that style online, none of the photos have the flap turnlock. Could it be a different style? And in researching further, I read that the 8 digit serial numbers and creed stating "Made in USA" were from the "mid to late 70's." Does any of that fit with the photos? PS: After 1/2 hour scouring the internet for matching images, I think my bag might be a 9755.


You're correct, my mistake - 9755 is the correct number. That's what happens when I go by memory instaed of actually looking up the number.

I don't know where you read that those 8-digit serial numbers were from the 1970s, but at least I got it right in the Salearea Guides. They're from the late 1980s, NOT the 1970s, and probably 1988 so wherever you read 1970s, double check the source and delete it if you have it saved.

ETA:

"Up until the end of the 1990s, the serial numbers were mostly hand-stamped using a mechanism that allowed the operator to change numbers quickly, and often in early Coaches you can see the top or bottom of the next number in line above or below the actual serial number (the forum term for that is "overstamping). And rarely in the late 1980s the dash between the two halves was skipped over and a string of 8 numbers would be stamped... "

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your time and help. This bag is for ME, and I am so happy to know more about it.
