has this listed 5 Times on Poshmark and is erasing my questions. Please advise. Thank you

Fake.

For $400, sidehustlecharm should be jailed for robbery!

She has 5 of those POS:
 
I think this seller has been sampling the Whacky Tobaccy...
Seller:
Vintage Recycled_Stuff on Ebay:


If that's actually the serial number, then it's fake. One of the production codes is not valid.

The same fake serial number has been found in fake Taft Bags dating back to at least 2010.

 
Please authenticate, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance

Looks like a Red Station Bag - but has the Bean Bag error in the Creed. It was upside down in the listing so here is a pic right side up.

Good morning Authenticators!
This case is in my possession now and would like an opinion before I accept it. Does it look authentic? Beenburned looked at the same case recently from a different seller and determined it to be authentic, so I'm hoping this one is too. If anyone recognizes the style name/number, etc I'd appreciate that as well. Many thanks!

It's authentic. Back when it was made, they didn't use computers to make sure that all parts came out exactly the same color. Different types of leather took the dye differently, which is why the trim doesn't match the bag exactly. There is also an anomaly in the creed number - where the dash should be, there is another digit. It's a compartment bag #9850 made late 80s or early 90s.
