For some reason one or more of your your posts weren't showing up as quoted text when I replied to them. Please be sure not to use any quote HTML in your original post because now I'm going nuts because one or more of my replies might be to the wrong post.

Putting your original question in quotes or with [ QUOTE ] html or posting just photos and no text means that your original question doesn't appear in someone's reply so there's no way to tell who they're replying to. It could just be a forum glitch but I just wanted to be sure you knew I tried to Reply to all of them.

And PLEASE don't make 2 separate posts about the same bag. There's usually a 60-minute Edit window so just edit the original post. If you have to add something in a separate post please say what you;re doing and which post you're adding to.

All three are genuine, that should cover any confusion.

Going just from the creed and serial it looks like it's fake. There's an invalid production code in the number. The hardware also looks silver in the photos but they're so overexposed it's hard to tell. The bag is described as Brown but that's not what I'm seeing. That seller needs to work on her photography skills.

Thank you for taking a look. The bag is in transit. I'll take some better photos when it shows up.

I agree with @whateve .

The only photo I'm curious to see would be the stamped half of the magnetic snap, but that will just confirm what we already know. (The construction of the inside pocket is a problem too). The serial number combined with the "made in the United States" creed is all the actual proof that's needed to know it's fake. The "E" plant code in 1997 and for almost if not all of its entire existence was exclusively Italy's. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

Thank you so much! I added photos to each one after I posted and immediately knew I probably did something wrong. Thank you for helping me authenticate them. And I will definitely remember I can edit my original post if I need to add a photo. I appreciate this forum so much.

Hi Authenticators,
Yesterday the seller sent me a very bad creed. Today he sent me this. If this is fake can you let me know how to identify it? Thank you.
