I'm sorry but this one is fake too.

Although the style number part of the serial number appears to match the correct style of bag, there are problems with the hardware, construction, creed, creed text, creed font and serial number.

In this case, the easiest determinator of inauthenticity is the first half of the serial number. Z is never a valid month code and S isn't a US plant code.

For the other bag, NJG is also an invalid serial prefix.

The law against counterfeit items applies to every seller and every business. Estate sales have the same rules as anyone else and are supposed to verify legality and authenticity of any item BEFORE putting it up for sale. If they're still around or if you paid by credit card, you should try to get refunds.

Genuine, looks like a Skinny Flight Bag from the early or mid-1980s
