ETA - From the VERY few A plant serial in my files for 1994 and 1995,the plant seems to have been pretty much "out of the loop" by then, I only have date-able serials for September thru November for them in 1994. The original plant building may have been mostly converted to offices by then.
Are you saying that you don't have examples of A plant serials later than 1994/1995? I have quite a few 1996 and 1997 as well as a sample from January 1998. I can PM you both some pictures.

The first one is definitely genuine. I don't see any obvious problems with the second but because it's a re-re-remake of an earlier style I don't have any photos of that exact year's details in my photo files.

More opinions are welcome.

No, but thanks. I have files from those years but I just wanted to limit my opinions to examples from the same A plant and year, or at least within a few months of the 1994 date on the creed stamp because the functions of that A plant were in a constant state of flux during the mid-1990s. Apples and apples. :girlsigh:
 
Hello! So I can’t find a ruler or measuring tape so save my life but I used the iPad measure tool thingy and it’s about 10 1/2 inches horizontal and about 7 1/2 inches tall. It does have the loop and handle on the left side

Thank you! That's a big help. I still can't find the official name for it, but maybe someone will find it eventually.

Hi all, wondering if you can check this out, I am curious because there is no dash in the serial number. The same pictures are listed on Poshmark too but I’m not sure if it is the same seller. A couple negative reviews on eBay too. Makes me nervous, but if fake I’d like to report it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Item: Coach Devon bag 9908
Listing number: 364465528689
Seller: maz-1321, EBay


*upon my own search I found the same pictures used on Poshmark for this listing from seller, vgeral13. I don’t know if this is the same seller as the one above.

They appear to be the same seller, both from West Palm Beach, Florida.

The bag is authentic and I recommend ebay as it's a more honest site and the price is over $20 cheaper!

I don't ever recommend Poshmark.
