Ebay won't let me look at the listing! All I see is "currently sold out." Even when I search by item number, I still can't access the pictures. Can anyone else?

Thanks. I have this photo. I've never seen the larger one. The one in the listing has a zippered pocket diagonally on the front. The creed looks good. I've never seen one so I didn't know about the pocket. Also, what's weird is that the seller's measurements are very close to the size of the small -11 x 9 x 6 inches.


GOT IT. After digging a bit deeper, I found this, note on p3 of the 1994 Fall/ Late Autumn catalog, where page 3 says:
"New BACKPACK No. 4934, PICTURED ON Page.2", and it mentions the additional side zipper. SHEESH, talk about making the customer jump through hoops just to see a photo. :graucho:

and FINALLY, on page2:

Authentic. Looks like an Embassy brief #5282, late 80s or early 90s.
