I don't believe the Oliver Bag was ever available in a Spectator version. And the Oliver has a different zipper configuration.

It's probably a Swagger Spectator 6820 from the early 1990s

Genuine, but NOT from the 1970s as the seller claims. It's a style 9855 Classic Hobo, which was shown as "NEW" in the 1989 Summer Preview catalog, see below. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge:

The bag in your photos seems to be genuine but that's all I can tell you without more photos and measurements. It was made in the 1980s. If it matches the measurements in my previous post it's probably a 9855 Classic Hobo.

Hellllllo! I'm interested in buying a vintage Coach Court bag, but I want to (of course) make sure that what I'm buying is authentic first. I know a few things to look out for, but would definitely appreciate a second opinion. I had a few listings bookmarked.

I also noticed that some of them have an adjustable strap, and others don't - did they make them both ways over the years, or does that mean the strap has been replaced? I super appreciate any input/feedback you're able to give. Thank you!!

Thank you when I get home I will measure. I was so confused with the serial # looked to be made in 2000 and the style number turns up nothing. So I thought maybe it was a super nice fake.

13x10x4 I think my confusion was I thought it was a 90s-2000s serial number so the “year” and “style” were not matching the format I thought it was. I do so much appreciate your help. I will check the archives for more i info on serial numbers.
