No, sorry, just of the 2 Small versions in Natural Grain 4911 and Nubuc 4938. 4908 was the Natural Grain version of the Large Nubuc 4934 but neither one of the Large versions is in my photo files, only my text list.

From the 1996-1997 Source Book:

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.

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?

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:

Looks like a genuine Equestrian Zip from 1998
 
Look at my amazingly beautiful burgundy briefcase!! :smile: Please and thank you for an authentication. Here's the deal on this bag!
