Hello,

Please have a look and advise. GW hasn't made it easy with this one - the creed pics are a challenge and they positioned the COA so that we can't scan the QR code. I blew up the creed and the serial appears to be A5E-4400, which IDs the bag as a Spence. The flap however, isn't rounded like the one on the Spence but seems more square, and takes up more real estate on the face of the bag, more in line with a Royalton. Would love your insight. Thank you!!

It's authentic. There aren't any measurements provided in the listing and it is almost impossible to read the creed number. I can't tell for sure which style it is but I think the flap could be more rounded than it appears. The proportions seem to look more like a Spence.

It looks authentic. Weird, they seem to have put white creeds in whiskey bags and whiskey creeds in white bags!

Interesting. I did quite a bit of reading here on 10650 and vachetta last night and it seemed they only offered them in these two colors, with others colors in the MFF style of this.
Thanks so much!!!

The handles aren't attached correctly and should be reattached. They shouldn't be from front to back but from left to right.

The first one IS fake but the second one (Phoebe) might be okay. A picture is needed of the small white label that would be inside the zipped pocket.

The 4400 Madison Spence measures roughly 8x5x2 inches. The 4403 Royalton is roughly 11x7x2 inches. The flaps are slightly different shapes.

I can't open any listing photos. It would help if you could post a copy of the photos of the front, side and the enlarged creed of the bag in question. Thanks.

Thank you both for your time! I blew up the creed to 400% and attached all pics, in case that helps. The flap seems different enough to arouse my suspicion, yet she's lovely either way and Whateve feels she's good. Thanks again.

 

[DL Harper]

Thank you whateve! Great info and photos. I'm hopeful the tag for the 2nd one will be with it as shown in the photos.

Both are authentic. The first looks a lot like this one from 2002 but it seems a little biggerView attachment 5895480

The second one appears to be this one. It could be confirmed if you could see the other side of the price tag.

View attachment 5895481

Both items have arrived.
The box and the tag with the 2nd item confirms it's style #6994 as you stated. Not sure why the seller didn't note that in the listing and photos.

The first case is actually more of a burgundy shade than the red shown in the photo you posted. From side to side/outer edge of piping to outer edge of piping, it measures about 7.5" wide x 4.5" tall - close to what the seller states. Because it is larger than the diminisions stated for #7193, would it be a different style number and year?

The proportions of the turnlock to the rest of the front of the bag seem to indicate it's the smaller 4400 Spence Bag. I'm also seeing 4400 as the style number. It's genuine.

Merci! I'd love to get some of my baked goods in every authenticator's hands to say thanks, but I don't think they travel well. Virtual brownies it is, with tremendous appreciation.

Hi authenticators! Thank-you for your time. I found a Willis on Facebook marketplace, looks like an E8c-9927. Please let me know if it looks ok. Thank-you!
