Something bothers me about this duffle. Admittedly it could be the awful photos. Enough to authenticate?


Etsy seller: moggys garage

Any insight would be helpful.
 
Thanks, I didn't have anything at all on a 596.

ETA - and I haven't seen a luggage tag with a different logo on each side before either.

Quick question - remember, I can't open any Ebay photos. Does the seller of the bag in the second (middle) set of photos have the top corners of the bag pushed in? In the gallery photo which is the only one I can see the shape looks more like a gym bag,the entire top looks rounded. The listing title also says it's from 1996, did he maybe make a mistake? Or copy the description from Ebay's blasted "photo library" and get the year wrong? Other 596s look like the 502 Cabin Bags, so is this just another seller who can't read date codes and doesn't know how to take a decent photo?

I'm confuzzled. And I've already had a really big mug of coffee so I can't claim caffeine deprivation.
Regarding the middle listing with the "domed" looking top, it looks like they have the sides folded down. There isn't a picture showing them pulled out but this picture (sort of) shows what it looks like with the side bent down.

The seller doesn't seem to know how to read serial numbers.

Sorry but there's nothing right about that bag. It's fake.

If it's listed online, please post the seller ID and a link to the listing.
If you purchased it, you should return it for a refund.

Although there are a lot of fakes with 1994 D stamps, this bag is okay.

The bag with K3H-9400 is fake.
